The 2nd annual Homewood Days Festival, being held July 12th at Homewood Mountain Resort, will be a celebration of the West Shore, and the people, music and outdoor activities that make it one of the favorite areas around Lake Tahoe.

Homewood Mountain Resort is proud to welcome the Dead Winter Carpenters as headliners for this year’s ticketed sunset concert, with local favorites Peter Joseph Burtt & the King Tide opening the show. The sunset concert kicks off with Peter Joseph Burtt & the King Tide opening the show at 5 p.m.

With a number of the Dead Winter Carpenters’ band members hailing from the west shore, this rare Tahoe outdoor appearance for the group will be something of a homecoming for the band that’s recently been taking the national bluegrass/alt-country scene by storm.

Tickets for the sunset concert portion of the festival can be purchased online at http://value.skihomewood.com, in-person at the Homewood Guest Services office, or by calling (530) 584-6867. And full details on the festival are available online at www.SkiHomewood.com/homewooddays.

All-Day Family-Friendly Activities
In addition to the sunset concert, the Homewood Days festival includes a series of free and low-cost family-friendly activities throughout the day of July 12, as well as a kickoff concert on the evening of Friday, July 11.

Activities include mountain bike demos by Marin and the Tahoe Gravity Shop, a naturalist hike, a free stand-up paddleboard yoga class, and presentations by the Bear League, Tahoe Maritime Museum and more.

A one-day cornhole tournament with cash prizes will start at 1 p.m. Featuring a double-elimination setup and $20 cash buy-in, the cornhole tournament will take place in Homewood’s “cornhole stadium” behind The Grill.

Further up the hill, Homewood will once again open the mountain’s trail network to hikers and mountain bikers during the festival and all summer. There is no fee to utilize Homewood’s on-mountain trail network and guests are asked to stay on designated paths for safety purposes and to protect recent on-mountain restoration work. Trail maps are available online at SkiHomewood.com/SummerTrailMap or outside of the Homewood Mountain Sports retail store at the North Lodge. Motor vehicles are not permitted on Homewood.
