June 26, 2024 | Julie Malkin-Manning
As you cruise through Incline Village, you’re sure to see the signs of a patriotic community celebration thanks to the hard work of many volunteers who have been placing décor and planting flags.
That’s a sign that the Local Heroes 4th of July Celebration is coming up. Next Tuesday – Thursday (July 2 – 4), our community partners are proud to present a full line up of events for all to enjoy. For full details, visit IVCBA.org and stay tuned for a dedicated Local Heroes SnapShot later this week with tons of information.

While not officially part of the IVCB Local Heroes Celebration, plan to participate in the 11th Annual Keep Tahoe Red, White and Blue Beach Clean Up on July 5. After Tahoe’s celebrated July 4th festivities, our beaches and surrounding areas can become covered with trash, endangering wildlife and the Lake’s clarity. Each year on July 5th, Tahoe residents and visitors turn out for the largest cleanup of the year to remove litter from Lake Tahoe’s shores. You can help Keep Tahoe Blue by volunteering at a beach cleanup sites around the Lake!
