Free music on the river

Summer ConcertSeries.

Free shows on the riverside patio, all summer. A band on the stage, the Truckee running past, and nobody checking tickets at the gate.

Music came back to River Ranch for good in 2025. Grab a drink, find a spot by the rail, stay for the encore.

Made possible by TINCUP Whiskey, Diageo and the North Tahoe Chamber. Thank you.
