South Lake Tahoe’s Ultimate Summer Solstice Street Party!
Every year, we shut down Ski Run Blvd and transform it into a 100+ table community dinner party! Think Halloween meets the summer solstice—complete with live music, incredible giveaways, festive costumes, and the best vibes all around.
Each table is a self-contained potluck, with every crew bringing their A-game to compete for the coveted “Best Table Theme” prize!
Deck out your table. Bring your crew. Party with a purpose. 🎉
100% of proceeds from ticket sales and our live raffle will go to local nonprofit Tahoe Family Resource Center, supporting South Lake families with essential services and care.
So grab your friends, hop on your bikes, and pull up a chair!

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR 2024 LOCAL FUNDRAISER!
In 2024, we raised over $20,000 for a local non-profit, The F.E.E.T Fund!
(Fulfilling Equitable Educational Trips)
Thanks to your generosity, all proceeds from our 2024 Longest Dinner Table event went to a local nonprofit dedicated to giving South Lake Tahoe elementary students the chance to swap the classroom for overnight field trip adventures in unforgettable places like Yosemite National Park!
This incredible organization also supports educators by providing funding and compensation—so they can focus more on teaching and less on fundraising.

How did the Longest Dinner Table begin in Lake Tahoe?
In 2018, Chris, Tor, and Darcie came up with a wild idea: bring our Ski Run neighborhood together, from the base of Heavenly mountain all the way to the lake, with a dinner table spanning the distance.
Our first Longest Dinner Table event took place in Novus Select's yard with only 21 tables. Fast forward to today, and we've grown to 100 tables and counting!
Our mighty team of four—Chris and Viktoria McNamara, Katy Jo, and Darcie Goodman Collins, are excited to carry on this tradition of celebrating community and expanding the longest table event each year, all for a great cause. Who knows? Maybe one day we'll actually reach our goal of a dinner table that spans from the mountains to the lake!
