Sample the Sierra, South Lake Tahoe’s signature Food & Wine Festival, is returning to Bijou Community Park on Saturday, September 6, 2025—and it’s shaping up to be the biggest celebration yet. As the region’s largest gathering of local culinary talent, craft beverage creators, and artisan makers, this one-of-a-kind community event is a true reflection of the Tahoe spirit.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or planning your first visit, Sample the Sierra offers an unbeatable mix of flavor, community, and fun. This year is already shaping up to be one of the best yet, with over 15 food vendors, 20 beverage vendors, and more than 23 artisan makers confirmed—and more being added each week. Attendance is expected to top 1,500 guests, and with a history of selling out, now is the time to secure your tickets.

The festival runs from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, and guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and a great appetite. Enjoy an afternoon filled with community connection, shaded seating under the trees, and family-friendly features like Bijou Community Park’s skate park and bike park. This year’s soundtrack will be provided by local favorites The Imposters—a fun and energetic live band that always gets the crowd moving.
What sets Sample the Sierra apart isn’t just the incredible tastes—it’s the connections. Where else can you sip a locally crafted brew while chatting with the chef who created your favorite dish? Or stroll through booths where artisans share the inspiration behind their handmade work? It’s a celebration of creativity and collaboration, and a perfect way to show visiting friends and family the best of what Tahoe has to offer.
We can’t wait to see you at the park this September—come hungry, bring your crew, and get ready to experience South Lake Tahoe’s food and wine scene at its most flavorful!
