So Labor Day Weekend is fast-approaching and you didn’t make any big plans. Don’t fret – Tahoe has tons of stuff going on and you can still get a room at your favorite resort in the the woods….

Granlibakken's Pools

22nd Annual Alpen Wine Festival at Squaw: Come and check out this classic Summer Send Off. It benefits the Can Do Multiple Sclerosis Foundation with a silent auction, tastings and delicious edibles.
Northstar Resort has Tahoe Star Tours this weekend (see previous blog post on that). They are also doing a hosting a huge arts & crafts festival.
Commons Beach Concert – On Sunday it’s the grand finale of the Free summer concert series headlined by the Sons of Champlin on Sunday. The Truckee Tribe, a fantastic and versatile local band, is playing the Fat Cat in Tahoe City on Saturday night – this will be a great little scene…
Another Great Concert: Steelin Dan, a Steely Dan tribute group, will rock the Crystal Bay Club on Saturday.
West Shore Cafe re-opening: This iconic place was rebuilt and then recently sold to the owners of adjacent Homewood Ski Area (they also own Alpine Meadows). It’s a great place where I was only able to spring for a beer, barely. But now that JMA has bought it the $20 bowl of soup is a goner. Locals and normal visitors rejoice in the now-affordable West Shore Cafe!
Oh and did I mention that Granlibalkken has awesome swimming pools and tennis courts…?

The big pool...
