Summer is sadly coming to its last few days, which means that Fall is fast approaching. Officially, the first day of fall is September 22. However for most of us, the fall mindset begins as the last of the Labor Day Fireworks are fired off. Fall is a favorite season in South Lake Tahoe to many, as the crowds are long gone and the weather in September is still hot during the days. And even though it is a time when visitors are not as heavy, there are still a lot of great events taking place. Events that will make it worth driving up! Here are a few of the great things we have to look forward to this Fall.
