Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival

Every summer for over 30 years, Tahoe residents have been entranced by the timeless words of William Shakespeare, set against the dramatic backdrop of Lake Tahoe and a starry sky. Comedies, tragedies, and even a special performance featuring Shakespeare's complete condensed works delight patrons who settle into Adirondack chairs and munch on gourmet fare from the "food court" â€" actually, several booths set up by local restaurants inside the gates. Perfect for a first date or a family outing. Families can also bring their food to the event. Get to the beach early to enjoy the water and get a good spot in line for general seating.
