What Makes This Festival So Special

Made in Tahoe is more than a festival—it’s a tribute to the artists, makers, musicians, chefs, and outdoor enthusiasts who give Tahoe its vibrant identity. Every booth, every band, every bite tells a local story.

From handmade jewelry and natural body care to adventure gear and original art, the Village at Palisades Tahoe transforms into a showcase of creative talent. You’ll meet the makers, hear their stories, and support small businesses that thrive in this mountain community.

And the best part? Every participant lives or works in the Tahoe Basin. This is as local as it gets.

Music, Mountains, & Good Vibes

Live music at Made in Tahoe

It wouldn’t be a Tahoe party without live music echoing through the peaks. This year’s lineup features a range of regional talent that pairs perfectly with spring sunshine and a locally brewed IPA in hand. As you wander the Village, you’ll find spontaneous performances, art demos, and maybe even a few surprise pop-ups. It’s an experience that blends high-altitude fun with community spirit.
