Have you seen Kings Beach glowing with a little extra magic?

NTBA has been working hard to bring some extra sparkle to downtown Kings Beach by lighting up over 80 streetlight poles just in time for the holidays!

A HUGE shoutout to the incredible James Busher of Lockwood Lightscapes! James dedicated countless hours carefully wrapping and securing each strand of lights to ensure every pole shines just right. Your dedication and attention to detail have truly brightened our community, and we are so grateful to have had the chance to collaborate with you!

A big THANK YOU to the TOT-TBID Dollars At Work Program for funding our “Light Up the Streets” initiative. This year-round and holiday lighting project doesn’t just add beauty to downtown—it’s helping enhance the vitality and well-being of our entire community. Your investment helps create a brighter future for our community and a more vibrant space for everyone to enjoy. We encourage you to check out all the amazing work happening through TOT-TBID Dollars At Work: northtahoecommunityalliance.com.

Here’s to a brighter Kings Beach! Let’s continue spreading the light, love, and holiday cheer together.
