Embrace the enchantment of the winter season in our charming mountain town of Incline Village and Crystal Bay, Nevada! The beloved Northern Lights Festival is back, and it’s lighting up our community with holiday spirit from now until the year’s end. Thanks to our generous lighting sponsors, Incline Village shines brightly with festive lights, casting a warm glow on Tahoe Boulevard and at homes and businesses all around town.


Northern Lights is our community’s winter holiday celebration filled with a calendar full of festive and heartwarming events, perfect for people of all ages, whether you believe in Santa or not! Festivities kick off in early November with the annual Diamond Peak Ski Team Pray for Snow party, the IVGID Craft Faire, and the popular Christmas Comes to Incline Village Thrift Store Open House – where the deals include freshly stocked holiday decor and merchandise! As tradition dictates, our festivities bring back perennial favorites such as the Candy Cane Lane & Village, Sip and Shops, Tahoe Film Fest, the delightful TFS Brunch with Santa, and TOCCATA’s enchanting performance of Messiah.

You can help to light up the night - We're calling on businesses, organizations, and generous individuals to become a part of this holiday event!
