Help us protect our beautiful North Lake Tahoe communities with responsible and fire-safe celebrations.
Due to Placer County’s vulnerability to damaging wildfires, the county has an ordinance that prohibits fireworks of all types, including those ‘safe and sane’ fireworks intended for home use that are sold at roadside stands throughout the region.
There are a variety of professionally organized Fourth of July celebrations throughout Placer County to ensure residents have a fun, yet safe celebration:
-
On Thursday, July 3, The Blues Monsters will perform a free concert series at the Kings Beach Recreation Area as part of the Music on the Beach concert series starting at 6:30 p.m.
-
The Tahoe City 4th of July Celebrations: The Boom is Back celebration will run from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. with a new family-friendly fun zone at Heritage Plaza, live music and entertainment throughout town and a sanctioned fireworks show for the Fourth of July starting at 9:30 p.m. off Commons Beach.
-
In Tahoe Vista on July 4, Big Blue Adventure is holding 5K and 10K runs beginning at the North Tahoe Regional Park and finishing at the Tahoe Vista Recreation Area Beach starting at 7 a.m.

Placer County will increase staff to monitor the county’s short-term rental complaint hotline throughout the holiday weekend. Officials are urging visitors to enjoy the area responsibly and to follow posted rules. Anyone can report short-term rental rule violations by calling Placer’s 24/7 hotline at 530-448-8003.
Officials are also warning visitors that alcohol is banned on the Truckee River from July 1-6, an annual safety ban originally put in effect in 2012.
The ban prohibits possession of open alcoholic containers in and along both sides of the river, including islands and bridges, from its outfall at Lake Tahoe in Tahoe City to the upstream edge of the Alpine Meadows Bridge during the holiday week.
Fireworks may be fun for us—but for pets, they can be terrifying. The 4th of July is the #1 day for lost pets. Don’t let yours be one of them. Help keep your furry family members safe with these simple steps:
-
Keep pets indoors: Bring them inside before it gets dark. Even pets who are usually calm can bolt when scared by loud noises.
-
ID tags and microchips: Make sure your pet is wearing a collar with current ID tags. A microchip is the best backup if a collar slips off—make sure your info is up to date!
-
Create a safe space: Set up a quiet room with their favorite bed or blanket, and play soft music or white noise to help mask the booms.
 If your pet goes missing, check Placer County Animal Services, Placer SPCA and other nearby shelters, post on local social media and neighborhood groups and Pawboost.com. Visit Placer.ca.gov/animal for more tips.
