SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Memorial Day weekend in South Lake Tahoe will feature the largest 3-day festival ever held that includes 40 artists spread across 14 venues from the downtown corridor at Heavenly Village through the south end of the city at Camp Richardson.

Featured artists include Pablo Cruise, an American pop/rock band from San Francisco; Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, a San Francisco artist named BB King’s ‘Entertainer of the year’; Scott Pemberton O Theory, a funky, surfy, rock band from Portland, Oregon; The Laurie Morvan Band a five-piece high-energy rocking blues band from Long Beach, Calif.; Dennis Johnson and The Revelators, San Francisco native recognized as “slide guitar master” by Guitar World Magazine; and more than a dozen local artists, all spread throughout 14 of the top venues in South Lake Tahoe.



Jamming through the holiday weekend the array of music stages highlights the destination’s iconic beachside experience, panoramic views of the lake and mountains, and outdoor patio vibes at local breweries each afternoon and night underneath the stars.
