Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor

The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor is one of the more popular summer nighttime events at the lake. Each July and August, acting groups come to lake to perform various Shakespeare plays in front of an audience who is seated on lawn chairs in the sand. The backdrop of the performances is spectacular. Tickets for various levels can be purchased including VIP, reserved seating and general seating. Seating usually begins at just before sunset and the performances begin at around sunset and last into the night. Past performances have included Hamlet, a Midsummer Night's Dream and the hilarious Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged). Visitors are allowed to bring in their own food and alcohol. In addition food can be purchased or ordered at your seat. Children are allowed and encouraged to attend.
