Have a Happy and Safe Holiday, and to all your little ghosts and goblins, may their tricks be non existent and their treats be nothing but candy. (You parents get to deal with the resultant sugar highs! Talk about things that go bump in the night! …and all the next day!)
Check out our events calendar tab above for Halloween events and trick or treating around Truckee and Lake Tahoe’s north shore. The neighborhood across from Safeway in Truckee has also been known to put on quite a show for those looking for a more traditional Trick or Treating experience. (You can also donate candy at Safeway for this generous neighborhood that shoulders the brunt of the Trick or Treating for the entire area. Show them some love.)

No matter how long you live here, you can always learn something new about the area you call home. On Thursday, October 15 and Friday, October 16, you can get your history with a side order of Old Town fun at the Annual Truckee’s Haunted Historic Tour.
This is a popular event with locals and tourists alike. You will be taken on a guided tour of many of Truckee’s vintage circa late 1800’s buildings and told colorful tales of her old west past by costumed characters, real and imagined. To quote one out of towner “I can’t choose a favorite. It was all a hoot!”
And who knows, one of Truckee’s reported spectral inhabitants might make an appearance as well.

If you’re from out of town, you can get the full effect of the evening by staying at one of Truckee’s original hotels, and be sure to grab a bite at one of it’s many restaurants in old town.
Tickets sell out quickly, so be sure to buy yours today!
