October 7, 2026 | Kristin Derrin

Fall Fest returns to the Village Center on Saturday, October 17, from 12–3 PM, once again stretching across both the Lower and Upper Village Center with an afternoon of fall fun, local businesses, live music, food, activities, and more.

Businesses and community organizations throughout the Village Center are getting involved, each offering something different to discover. From wine and beer tastings to a pumpkin patch, carnival, scarecrows, shopping, games, food, live music, and even a cold plunge, there’s plenty happening throughout the afternoon.

Start at the Lower Village Center

There’s lots to explore in the Lower Village Center. Stop by Bluetree Botanicals for handmade soaps, enjoy a wine tasting at Glasses Wine Bar, or visit Grocery Outlet for its pumpkin patch and beer tasting.

Families can head to Tahoe’s Connection for Families for a carnival, pumpkin decorating, and food, while Sierra Verde will be getting into the fall spirit with scarecrows. Yamileo will have an activity and prize wheel, and the TFS Main Office will offer games and information.

Adults can browse the clothing sale and enjoy a beer tasting at Pet Network Thrift, or stop by Lupita’s for margaritas and snacks.

You’ll also find Lighthouse Medical, Incline Shine Window Cleaning, and Nevada Nordic with information booths, while NLTFPD will be offering flu shots. IVCBA will have a beverage tent with refreshments and Jacked Up will provide live music throughout the afternoon.

And be sure to check out Tahoe Multi-Sport, which will be joining the festivities in both the Lower and Upper Village Center.

Then Head to the Upper Village Center

Fall Fest once again stretches into the Upper Village Center, so be sure to make your way up and see what the businesses there have planned.

Tahoe Multi-Sport will bring the fun to both ends of the Village Center, with its mobile sauna, cold plunge, and sale featured in the Upper Village Center.

Stop into the TFS Thrift Store to browse its clothing and household sale. Corazon de Mexico will have a spin for candy, while Village Christian Thrift will feature scarecrows and games.

Make an Afternoon of It

Fall Fest is all about getting out and enjoying the Village Center while supporting the local businesses and organizations that make our community special.

Wander between the Lower and Upper Village Center, listen to live music, grab something to eat or drink, shop locally, let the kids enjoy the activities, and discover what participating businesses have planned along the way.
