Information about parking at Valhalla, the Lake Tahoe Renaissance Faire this coming weekend and the following weekend.

IMPORTANT - PARKING AND TRANSIT INFO

WOW… time flies!
We’re just days away from the Valhalla Renaissance Faire descending upon South Lake Tahoe’s beautiful Tahoe Valley Campground.

We’ve been working tirelessly to bring you one AMAZING show — and I’ll spill more of that exciting news soon. But first, let’s talk about the most important thing: parking and transit.

If you joined us last year, you know that parking at the campground is extremely limited. This year, the small lot alongside TVC will not be available, and the site will only have 60 ADA-designated spots.

But fear not! Thanks to Lake Tahoe Unified School District (LTUSD), American Legion, and Alladin Limousine, we’ve secured five parking lots where you can leave your carriage without worry:
• Bus Garage Lot – South Tahoe Middle School, 1021 Al Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
• Front Lot – South Tahoe Middle School, 2940 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
• Ed Center Lot – South Tahoe Middle School District Office, 1021 Al Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
• Lower Lot – South Tahoe High School, 1735 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
• American Legion – 2748 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

Shuttle Service
Alladin Limousine buses will run Saturday 9:30 AM–6:30 PM and Sunday 9:30 AM–5:30 PM, dropping guests at the site roundabout (unless traffic flow requires adjustments).

We’ll also have shuttle stops at the Tahoe Transit Center at the Y for anyone arriving via public transportation. The Tahoe Transportation District (formerly BlueGO) runs daily fixed-route bus service from 6:30 AM–8:20 PM, including weekends. Lake Link’s on-demand microtransit shuttle operates 7 AM–9 PM daily (extended to 11 PM Saturdays).

On-Site Courtesy
Once you arrive, remember that we are guests at TVC. Please follow the clearly marked walkways to the event site to avoid disturbing campground patrons and to keep clear of vehicle traffic.

Neighborhood Courtesy
We also ask for your kindness and respect toward the homeowners on the street that parallels the campground. Please do not park haphazardly, block driveways, or crowd residential areas. A friendly smile and a wave go a long way — let’s have a spectacular event without upsetting the people who live around us.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK AT THE Barton Memorial Hospital!!!

So — pack your garb, grab your friends, and get ready. The realm awaits! Hope to see you there!
