We proudly continue to dedicate our Music on the Beach series to the beloved Pam Emmerich, whose passion and vision were instrumental in the creation and development of Music on the Beach as well as the growth and sustainability of North Tahoe. Let’s come together this season to keep Pam’s memory alive through what she loved most, MUSIC and COMMUNITY.
