Lights on the Lake
Blue Lake Tahoe reports:
Lights on the Lake – July 4 is Lake Tahoe’s highly rated summer event. Rated as the best place to watch the July 4th holiday fireworks by Travelocity on msnbc.com (June 2005) the show is reflected in the crystalline waters of Lake Tahoe and the light explosions inspire awe among visitors and residents alike. South Shore’s sandy beaches offer ideal viewing, as do the M.S. Dixie II and Tahoe Queen paddle wheelers. More than 100,000 people watch the South Shore fireworks annually. Launched from an offshore barge, the fireworks are visible from all over town.
The pyrotechnic display is 30 minutes long and features a wide variety of patterns, lights, designs and shapes. The precisely timed blast offs are synchronized to the soundtrack and controlled via computer. Created by Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. and fired by Pyrodigital Consultants, Lights on the Lake was rated one of the Top 10 “must see” events by the American Pyrotechnics Association and is the biggest display west of the Mississippi. The simultaneous music broadcast can be heard on local stations KRLT-FM 93.9 and KOWL-AM 1490.
