PJ's Summer Concert Series

PJ’s summer concert series kicked off this week and will continue every Tuesday evening through September 4^th from 5:30PM-7:30PM.  Located on the lawn outside of PJ’s restaurant at Gray’s Crossing, the setting is unreal with open grass seating and huge mountain views as a backdrop. It is easy to see why these concerts have become a summer tradition in Truckee.

Seating options include first-come-first-serve space for blankets and chairs on the lawn, or reservations are welcome for those who would like a table dining experience while enjoying the music. For those on the lawn, there are walk up food options available for purchase including burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches along with a full bar. Table reservations will enjoy a specialty BBQ menu and buffet that includes PJ’s signature ribs, chicken, salads, desserts and more. Reservation dining can be booked in advance and usually fills up fast.

Next Tuesday, look for Peter Joseph Burtt and The Kingtide on the stage at PJ’s. Burtt’s music draws on influences from time he spent studying and playing with musicians in Africa, and much of his music is played on traditional instruments like the 26 stringed kora. Look for well-known local acts on the calendar as well such as the Dead Winter Carpenters, The Serina Dawn Band, and everyone’s favorite: Ike and Martin.

Sitting on the grass, enjoying breathtaking views and music on a summer evening is pretty perfect. PJ’s is the place to be this summer to celebrate long, gorgeous Tahoe summer days.

Halloween Happenings 2015

Halloween Happenings 

Goblins, ghosts, mummies, ghouls and pumpkins are starting to roam the streets as Halloween grows near.  With fun family events every weekend, there is always an excuse to get dressed up.  

This past weekend was the Truckee elementary pumpkin patch.  On a cold wet day, everything was moved inside for an excited crowd.  Games, kids, bounce houses, cake walks and haunted houses were around every corner, it was a blast.  The weekend before, Tahoe Donner had their annual Fall Festival with a pumpkin patch, pony rides, live music, and family fun. 

The Halloween fun will continue this weekend at Old Greenwood with their Annual Harvest Party.  As  a Tahoe Mountain Club Member, kids will enjoy a pumpkin patch, petting zoo, pony rides, games, a mad scientist, pumpkin carving and more.  TMC members join in this Saturday from 12pm – 2:30pm.  

If you are looking for a fun and an authentic pumpkin patch experience on a farm, pack up the kids and drive up north to Lil’ Megs Pumpkin Patch in Beckwourth CA.  This charming property is just past Sierraville and perfect for the entire family.  Featuring a corn maze, amazing fresh home baked goods, games and pumpkins of all sizes, it’s the perfect place to spend a weekend afternoon.  The drive should be beautiful and full of fall colors, you will not be disappointed.  Open every weekend in October 10am – 4pm.
