Sample the Sierra Farm-to-Fork Festival

Save the date, Saturday, September 6 2025

Check back for updated information on the 2025 Sample the Sierra Festival.

The much-anticipated Sample the Sierra Farm-to-Fork Festival is back and better than ever, ready to delight attendees with an array of local flavors and artisanal products. Set against the scenic backdrop of Bijou Community Park, the festival will take place on Saturday, September 6 from 1-4 pm, promising a day of unforgettable culinary experiences and community spirit.

“While we’ll be honoring the tradition of Sample the Sierra, we’re also doing what we can to encourage sustainable tourism as part of this year’s event,” said Tahoe Chamber Chair-Elect Jenay Aiksnoras. “Digital ticketing and reusing what we have is the theme this year. As attendees, you can do your part to reduce your impact on Tahoe by carpooling, riding your bicycle, or taking Lake Link to the event.  

Sample the Sierra 2025 promises an extraordinary journey through the region’s finest culinary offerings, from fine wines to handcrafted spirits and delicious gourmet dishes. Attendees will have the opportunity to taste, sip, and savor a wide variety of samples, all while enjoying live music from Robin Orr & Snowbound Music and exploring the vibrant marketplace featuring local artisans.
