During the summer months you can enjoy live music on most Sunday afternoons. It is a great place for friends to gather with a picnic and bottle of wine, while watching anything from local bands such as Truckee Tribe to old favorites like Les Dudek.

The Dam is the beginning of the Truckee River in Tahoe City. Walk across the dam, view the mechanics through the plate glass windows, and learn how it works. There is also a bridge that crosses the river; between the bridge and dam. The water below is home to large trout that tourist view as they lean over the rail, which is how the bridge got it’s name Fanny Bridge.
