Marking the end of high season at the lake, the Lake Tahoe Labor Day Weekend Fireworks Extravaganza explodes over South Shore Lake Tahoe at approximately 8:30 pm. The patriotic pyrotechnic display will last about 22 minutes.
The show is one of the largest in the West based on sheer volume of fireworks. The Labor Day pyrotechnic spectacular has become a popular annual attraction for thousands of visitors and locals.
The Fireworks Extravaganza starts around 8:30-9 p.m and will be visible in South Lake Tahoe from the paddlewheelers and beaches.
