December 1, 2025 | Kristin Derrin
At IVCBA, our mission is to build community and grow cohesiveness for the sustainability of Incline Village and Crystal Bay. Through this work, we design, promote, and support events that bring people together during the most spirited time of year, our Northern Lights Holiday Festival.
One of the highlights of Northern Lights is the return of Jingle & Mingle, a festive community celebration happening Saturday, December 13, from 11 AM to 3 PM. This year’s event anchors itself in Christmas Tree Village, transforming the area into a lively holiday hub filled with shopping, tastings, craftsmanship, and cheer.
A Holiday Hub at Christmas Tree Village
This year’s Jingle & Mingle shines a special spotlight on Christmas Tree Village—Incline Village’s nostalgic, winter-ready gathering place where local shops, eateries, and creative spaces come alive for the season. Tahoe Gifting Co., located at The Cut, anchors the celebration with beautifully curated Tahoe-inspired gifts, artisan-made goods, and special holiday promotions. Throughout the Village, businesses will offer seasonal treats, shopping specials, and festive experiences, making it the perfect place to stroll, sip, shop, and soak in the holiday spirit.
Village-Wide Festivities
Beyond Christmas Tree Village, merchants and restaurants throughout Incline Village will offer their own specials, snacks, and holiday experiences. With dozens of local businesses joining the celebration, Jingle & Mingle is the perfect opportunity to shop local, eat local, and support the community while enjoying a relaxed, joyful afternoon around town.
What to Expect
While this year’s event is centered at Christmas Tree Village, you’ll find holiday cheer all across Incline Village. Enjoy:
Unique gifts, discounts, and holiday promotions from participating merchants
Seasonal bites, drinks, and tastings from local restaurants, cafés, and bars
Hands-on holiday activities and festive pop-ups for all ages
Community gathering spaces filled with twinkling lights, décor, and holiday music
At Christmas Tree Village, Tahoe Gifting Co. and Inside Incline will host an elevated holiday experience featuring:
Music by DJ Hardy
Special tasting menu from Paxton’s Lake Tahoe
Ornament-making station by Good Livin’ Ceramics
Spirits tasting with Minden Mill Distilling
Holiday laser-engraving specials and gift ideas
This is your chance to discover new businesses, revisit long-time local favorites, and enjoy the festive spirit that Northern Lights brings to our community.
Celebrate Together
As Tahoe Boulevard glows with lights and the holiday season settles in, we invite you to wander, explore, and connect. Jingle & Mingle is a celebration of everything that makes Incline Village special, our small businesses, our creative community, and the neighbors who bring it all to life.
We want to hear from you! Share your Jingle & Mingle adventures, tag us on social media, and let us know your favorite stops and experiences.

This year, Pet Network is raising funds for a generator for our shelter and community hospital so that animals in our care stay safe and warm—even when Tahoe’s winter storms knock the power out.
Fuel the Mission is our Giving Tuesday campaign to replace our retired operations vehicle so our dive team can keep cleaning Lake Tahoe year round. A dependable used vehicle allows us to haul tanks and kayaks, tow the jetski, reach remote coves, and launch in snowy winter conditions. Donors can sponsor specific parts of the vehicle from tires to safety gear to help power the pieces that keep our work moving. Every contribution (NO MATTER THE SIZE) fuels the mission and keeps our divers in the water protecting the lake from the bottom up.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to support the organizations that make our mountain community strong, connected, and compassionate. Every contribution, large or small, helps uplift local programs and the people they serve. To discover additional nonprofits doing important work in Incline Village and throughout the Tahoe Basin, visit the Tahoe Community Foundation, which provides a comprehensive directory and trusted pathways for giving.

During the third quarter of 2025, IVCBA continued to strengthen its role as the voice and connector for the Incline Village and Crystal Bay businesses and community.
Communications & Marketing
Marketing and communication efforts expanded significantly this quarter to further support local business visibility and community connection. The SnapShotsubscriber list grew to over 3,300, representing a 34% increase from Q2, and newsletter advertising opportunities became available, providing members with a new way to reach local audiences.
A major milestone this quarter was the launch of the Printed Merchant Map, distributed throughout town with stickers and QR codes linking to IVCBA’s new Digital Map, developed in partnership with Travel North Tahoe Nevada. This interactive online guide highlights local businesses, providing both visibility and SEO value for members. IVCBA also continued to build collaborative relationships with community agencies and businesses.
Membership, Programs & Events
Membership engagement remained strong in Q3, with a continued focus on outreach, relationship building, and program development. Eleven new members joined, and sixty three their memberships. The new Business Network Happy Hour launched in August at Alibi Ale Works, quickly becoming a monthly tradition held on the first Thursday of each month at rotating venues such as Raley’s and Bowl Incline.
The popular Member Highlight feature continued to drive engagement, with positive feedback from both featured members and the broader community. The new Mi Comunidad Council launched successfully, hosting two meetings, one with an enthusiastic turnout and another with a smaller but engaged group.
Community connection remained at the heart of IVCBA’s events this quarter.
VIP Reception on September 9 introduced new leaders to the community
Member Social on September 14
Biz Buz Mixer with Pet Network on September 26
Each event reinforced IVCBA’s commitment to fostering collaboration and meaningful relationships among local businesses and residents.
Housing Committee
Affordable and workforce housing continued to be a priority throughout Q3. IVCBA encouraged attendance at TRPA’s Housing Workshop in July and welcomed a presentation from the St. Joseph Land Trust on its innovative TAHOE Program, designed to help local residents purchase the homes they currently rent. The presentation, held on September 15, provided valuable insights into how partnerships can help address housing challenges in our community.
Main Street Beautification
Beautification and placemaking efforts remained active this quarter under the Incline Village Main Street initiative. A new Main Street webpage was launched to share updates and engage the community. A gathering space was also developed below Crosby’s at Christmas Tree Village, creating a welcoming area for residents and visitors. Throughout the summer, terra cotta pots and hanging baskets were mostly successfully maintained, thanks to community and volunteer efforts.
The annual Main Street stakeholder meeting was held in August, bringing together local partners to discuss ongoing improvements. A major highlight of the quarter was the launch of the Sierra Giving Circle, which raised a preliminary $200,000 during its inaugural “Roots to Revitalization” fundraising dinner on September 14. Donations were made through IVCBA’s charitable partner, the Incline Tahoe Foundation, supporting future beautification and revitalization projects.
Gateway Roundabout Improvements
Progress continued on the Gateway Roundabout enhancement project. Lefrancois Engineering presented its 30% completion plans to NDOT, and the designs received verbal approval from the Main Street Committee to move forward. Construction and landscaping improvements are scheduled for Spring 2026, marking a major step toward improving this key community entryway.
