LAKE TAHOE, Calif. And Nev. – Mother’s Day is just around the corner on May 12, and there’s no better place to honor the special mom in your life than the breathtaking Lake Tahoe region. Lake Tahoe has something to delight every mother, from rejuvenating spa retreats to mouthwatering brunch feasts and outdoor adventures amid incredible natural scenery.
Treat mom to pampering at world-class spas
An awesome way to say “thanks” is with a luxurious spa day experience on May 11 in Incline Village. The Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa, and Casino offers the ultimate wellness experience with their Elemental Immersion package.
It begins with a breath-work session and intention-setting cold plunge in the lake led by expert practitioner Brooke Haley. Then mom can nourish her body with a healthy lakeside meal at Lone Eagle Grille before participating in sound healing meditation surrounded by ethereal flutes, gongs, and Tibetan singing bowls. The experience concludes with a symbolic “letting go” fire ceremony. At $495, it’s a splurge, but an unforgettable one.
CELEBRATE MAY DAY at the Community Mixer at Umpqua Bank today starting at 4:30! Mixers are a classic form of gathering in Incline. A sponsor, in this case Umpqua Bank and its financial advisors and mortgage lenders, and Frushon Accounting and Business Services supply adult beverages and food…from T’s Rotisserie. A new twist this time is that other IVCBA members in financial services are attending and supplying raffle prizes. This is a great chance to meet local business owners and mingle with locals in this very spring-like May Day.
INCLINE STAR FOLLIES is happening this weekend. This is another tradition in Incline but has been absent since COVID. You will love love love the energy emanating from the stage and the sense of community when we all “stand up as proud Americans” in the last number of the evening.
INCLINE VILLAGE LIBRARY and COMMUNITY CENTER
Lifelong learning happens weekly, even daily at our beloved Incline Library. Art classes for seniors are being introduced this Friday! Right next door in the old library building is the Community Center utilized for games and meetings, along with housing the Incline Justice Court.
BEAUTIFICATION CAMPAIGN
Please join us and your neighbors in “spring cleaning” the Village, starting with your own property. Gather your neighbors and plan to join the Incline Green Clean on June 1, followed by the Incline Village Library Block Party and BBQ!

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Education Alliance gave $1,000 to Incline Village Elementary, Incline Middle, and Incline High schools Wednesday as part of its program to assist with underfunded needs.
Each public school in Washoe County received $1,000 toward student engagement, teacher/staff recognition, educational excursions, technology, or student health and wellness.
“We are lucky to live in a community with thoughtful business and foundation leaders who care about the future of our region and will invest their money and time to improve the lives of students in Washoe County School District,” said Sarah Gobbs-Hill, Education Alliance executive director. “We know there is a lot of work ahead of us to get to the level of support our students and teachers need as they address the learning gaps and student disengagement issues that have arisen since the pandemic. Our students need us more than ever and we hope others in our community will continue to join forces with us to support them.”
With the launch of the Lifelong Learning for Adults: Watercolor series on May 3 and online meeting room reservations, the Incline Village Community Center at 855 Alder Avenue continues to expand services. The old library building is the new home of Incline Village-Crystal Bay Justice Court as well as the Community Center and is managed by Washoe County Senior Services.
In collaboration with the library, the Community Center will offer the 5-week watercolor for beginners series starting Friday, May 3 at 2 pm and hosted by artist and library staff member Jackie Peacock-Burton. Learn about basic supplies and materials (provided free with registration), painting florals, landscapes, and night scenes, and culminates in an artist reception on May 31.
The Time-out Tuesday series where adults can connect and relax with a hands-on activity continues on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 4:30 pm. Join us in May for Container Gardening on May 7 and 3D Art on Canvas on May 21. Community Center programs are funded by Washoe County Senior Services and hosted by the Incline Village Library.
The Community Center also has 4 different rooms available for public meeting or activity use. Groups including Mah Jongg (Mondays), Chess Club (Wednesdays), and Bridge (Fridays) use the rooms with new players welcome.
Availability and reservations for the rooms which include two activity rooms, a board room, and an office can be made online at the Incline Village Community Center web page or library website. The building is open to the public from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
The Incline Village Library continues to offer great programs in May including a performance by Kantu Inka featuring the rhythms and instruments of Andean Peru on Saturday, May 18.
The Tahoe Talks: Civic Engagement series focuses on ways to improve our democracy and engage with elected officials. Join guest expert Judge E. Alan Tiras on Tuesday, May 14, as we weigh the pros and cons of US Supreme Court term limits.
These programs complement all of the library’s great services including Storytime every Tuesday and Thursday, Book a Librarian, and Write Your Life Memoir Workshop. Visit our website for full details.
And the Tahoe summer kicks off on Saturday June 1 as the library partners with ‘Waste Not’ to host the Summer Reading Block Party and Community Clean-Up Day.
