As the winter holiday season approaches, Tahoe/Truckee prepares for its yearly transformation into a winter wonderland. One minute it’s sweater weather and the mountain towns are full of fall colors and then – boom – they’re decked out in lights and holiday cheer.
While there are many elements that contribute to a winter storybook feel, holiday lighting can add the finishing touch.
Holiday lighting comes in many different shapes and forms. Whether it’s a torchlight parade at Granlibakken, a tree lighting at Palisades Tahoe, or a festival of winter lights in South Lake, each town participates in creating its own unique glow.
