Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority has decided to cancel South Lake Tahoe’s Fourth of July Fireworks. President Carol Chaplin says, “The decision is focused on public safety concerns and providing mitigation solutions around peak visitation times.” The visitors authority statement says “The annual display draws tens of thousands of visitors to area beaches and reservations interest is already strong for the destination’s lodging this year with the holiday falling on a weekend.” The action recognizes that the area has not completely recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.
