Grupo Fantasma
2022-09-03 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Oats Park Arts Center, 151 East Park Street, Fallon, NV, 89406
Grupo Fantasma has been praised as one of the most important independent acts in the Latin genre and has continually defied expectations to create one of the most unique musical voices to come out of the United States in the 21st century. In 2011, they garnered further acclaim by winning a Grammy (their second such nomination) for their self-produced release El Existential on Nat Geo Music which the Wall Street Journal called, “Latin music both new and traditional … vibrant fusions that transcend easy classification.”
The band’s incendiary live show, declared by NPR as “seamless whenever and wherever they’re on stage” has brought the band to major festivals and venues internationally including Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, North Sea Jazz Festival Kennedy Center, London’s O2 Arena, Montreal Jazz Festival, as well as two tours to Kuwait and Iraq to entertain US troops and a recent tour in Pakistan and Qatar. Their diverse spectrum of devoted fans speaks to the ensemble’s universal appeal beyond just Latin or world music.
“Real musicians playing real music.”

Reno Rib Cook Off
2022-08-31 - 2022-09-05 | Nugget Casino Resort, 1100 Nugget Avenue,, Sparks, NV
The Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off is one of the biggest in the nation! Often referred to as the Super Bowl of rib competitions, this festival hosts more than 20 rib cookers creating delectable smoked and barbecued dishes for all ages to enjoy. To participate in the Sparks Rib Cookoff, barbecue companies travel from far-away cities and towns such as Pittsburgh; Minneapolis; Fayetteville, Ark.; Rochester, Ind.; Elizabethtown, Ky.; Burr Ridge, Ill.; Frenchtown, Mont.; and Borger, Texas. And you’ll find some local vendors as well, including Brothers Barbecue from Reno, BJ’s Barbecue from Sparks, Carson City BBQ from Carson City, and last year’s winner, Git-R-Smoked, from Sparks. All vie for bragging rights and more than $19,000 in cash.
Fun facts: Each year, the estimated 350,000 to 400,000 barbecue enthusiasts consume more than 250,000 pounds of mouth-watering ribs at this yummy event. People travel from all over the nation and across the world, including from Australia, to attend the Reno NV Rib Cookoff.
The best way to enjoy the Reno Rib Cookoff is to purchase VIP tickets. This allows you to try dishes from all the vendors, and it guarantees you a place to sit and enjoy each flavorful dish. To top it off, tickets include free beverages to tame the taste buds from some of the spicier selections or to compliment a sweet hickory sauce, for instance. Tickets for the Sparks Rib Cookoff can be purchased at Nuggetribcookoff.com.
Along with the delicious food, the Reno Rib Cookoff features a long list of vendors selling clothing, jewelry, toys, and much more. Other activities include a huge arts and crafts show, Beer Garden, Kids Carnival, the aforementioned VIP Area, and top-named entertainment performing on two stages. About 20 different bands and artists, including Everlast, Jefferson Starship, Fuel, Adam Sanders, and Eddie Montgomery, entertain the crowd. Most days of the festival, the live music showcase begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m.
Now, when is the Reno Rib Cookoff? It takes place over Labor Day weekend annually. In 2022, it begins Wednesday, Aug. 31 and continues through Monday, Sept. 5. There is no admission fee, and the event is open to the public. Free parking is located near the event, but is extremely limited and fills up quickly. We recommend taking advantage of the free shuttle service. If you’re coming in from out of town to enjoy the Reno Rib Cookoff, sometimes called the Sparks Rib Cookoff due to its location, stay in the heart of the action at the Nugget Casino Resort, located on Victorian Square. The festival spans more than six city blocks in the heart of downtown Sparks on Victorian Avenue between 14th Street and Pyramid Way.
Leave your non-service animals at home (they are not permitted in Victorian Square). But grab your friends and family members and bring your appetite to enjoy the sunshine, a cool glass of lemonade, and the best ribs you’ve ever eaten.

The Tahoe Food Hub (TFH) is a 501(c)-3 non-profit organization based in Truckee, CA. Our mission is to provide a food system that supports regenerative and sustainable farming practices by increasing access to local food for North Lake Tahoe. By addressing local food access challenges at a systems level, we create a hub for local food. A local food system benefits diversified, family farms looking fair market opportunities while increasing access to local food for our mountain community. Our goal is to create a more equitable food system that is fair for the soil, farmer and consumer. Regenerative farming sequesters carbon into the soil which helps mitigate climate change. Our network of programs educates our community on the important role that a local food system has on our community, economy and environment. For more information find us online at tahoefoodhub.org.
For additional information or if interested in volunteering, please email or call susie@tahoefoodhub.org, 530-562-7150.

Classical Tahoe: Sibelius, Séjourné, & Rachmaninoff
2022-07-30 19:00 | Classical Tahoe Pavilion, 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village, NV
Sibelius’s Finlandia had its origins in political protest. It was written for the Finnish Press Pension Celebration of 1899, a thinly veiled rally in support of freedom of the Finnish press, then largely controlled by tsarist Russia. Sibelius later reworked parts of the music into a Finlandia Hymn which is today regarded as Finland’s unofficial national anthem.
It’s not often that a percussion instrument like the marimba is a featured soloist with an orchestra. Praised by the New York Times for his “understated but unmistakable virtuosity”, Svet Stoyanov will play Séjourné’s Concerto for Marimba which combines the romantic and jazzy sounds of the instrument.
Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 is a favorite of many because of its continuous lush, sweeping, romantic melodies that will be sure to touch your soul.

2022-07-29 19:00 | Classical Tahoe Pavilion, 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village, NV

Three-time GRAMMY Award winning mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard joins us to transport you to the opera for a night you’ll never forget. (Fun fact: You also may recognize Isabel from the season 43 finale of Sesame Street in Murray Monster’s “People in Your Neighborhood’ segment, or as a regular host of The Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD broadcasts).
Most famous for his opera Carmen, Bizet wrote his Symphony in C when he was just 17 years old!

Classical Tahoe: Haydn, Schubert, & Wagner
2022-07-23 19:00 | Classical Tahoe Pavilion, 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village, NV
Wagner’s Siegfriend Idly is a “musical love letter” and grand gesture of affection to his wife Cosima. Wagner presented it to Cosima on her 33rd birthday, also Christmas day. Perfect for date night in Lake Tahoe!

“As I awoke, my ear caught a sound, which swelled fuller and fuller. . . . Music was sounding, and such music! When it died away, Richard came into my room with the children and offered me the score of the symphonic birthday poem. I was in tears, but so was the rest of the household.”
– Cosima Wagner, the wife of Richard Wagner, 1870

Haydn’s Sinfonia Concertante is light, quirky, and classically enjoyable music featuring four Classical Tahoe Orchestra musicians as soloists: Sarah Vonsattel, violin, Winona Zelenka, cello, Nathan Hughes, oboe, and Whitney Crockett, bassoon.
When Schubert wrote his Symphony No.3, he was just 18 years old!
