How To Celebrate Pride in Truckee

We are looking forward to celebrating Pride Month in June! At Palisades Tahoe, we celebrated Pride Month a little early this year with a Queer Ski Day! All were welcome to join for a fabulous day of fun and skiing. Participants were encouraged to show their support by dressing up in colorful rainbow clothing. A legendary dance party at Gold Coast and Plaza Bar brought the hype for everyone to take part—whether showing up in support or simply showing up as themselves. This day reflects a commitments to inclusion that extends beyond the slopes.

In partnership with Truckee Pride, Palisades Tahoe is supporting Truckee’s 2nd annual Pride Week. Check out all of the amazing events Truckee Pride is hosting from June 1st – 8th. Through exciting events, conversations, and community gatherings, Truckee Pride creates a positive space for LGBTQIA+ voices and helps foster a more connected and inclusive Tahoe.

About Truckee Pride

We love living and playing in the incredible landscape of the Sierra Nevada. Historically, rural towns and outdoor spaces haven’t always been accepting of the queer community. We’re working to make sure that regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race and lifestyle, everybody feels safe, supported and welcome in the Truckee area. Truckee Tahoe Pride Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit.
