As the warmer temps start creeping into North Lake Tahoe, locals and guests may notice mountain bikes

                           Open mic at Rosie’s

strapped to car racks, skiers and riders shedding down the hill in shorts and tank tops, and plenty of reasons to get outside and play. From foodie events and open mic nights to Cinco de Mayo celebrations and paddleboard races, North Lake Tahoe has it all.

Opportunities to Show off Your Talent

Every Tuesday night at 9pm, Rosie’s Café hosts open mic night for local artists who want to show off their musical skills. If singing is more your thing, then check out karaoke night at Fat Cat Bar & Grill on Thursdays at 9 (they are located a couple of doors down from Rosie’s). Who knows, you might be Tahoe’s next rising star!

For those that consider themselves local foodies, then the Food Wars at Brewforia should be a necessary stop on your weekend tour. May the fourth be with the Republic and the Empire battling it out for universal dominance to establish the best dishes of Incline Village for the day. Each side will cook up their favorite food and diners vote whose menu is better. The fun starts at 10:30am on Friday, May 4.

Or if you’re more of a taco and tequila person, then don’t forget the festivities of Cinco de Mayo. On May 5, Caliente! In Kings Beach will be hosting Chihuahua races, Hot Lips Limbo, Pink Taco Eating, and the Kentucky Derby is going on as well. Reservations are highly recommended…call (530) 546-1000 or visit http://www.calientetahoe.com/ for more information.
