Women's Wellness Weekend and LUNAFEST

The Village at Squaw Valley was the home for local women to learn about staying healthy and reducing stress, among many other things this past weekend. Women's Wellness Weekend, presented by the Tahoe Forest Health System, gave classes, seminars, and workshops focusing on disease prevention, mindful eating, stress reduction, creativity and healing, skin care and breast health. Sunday had a health fair in the large Palisades Ballroom with massages and free information, as well as Fitness Classes in the Alpenglow Meeting Room. If you missed it, make sure to find out when it is next year because it was a great, seamless program full of helpful information.

Also this past weekend, LUNAFEST Film Festival, sponsored by Girls on the Run- Sierras, was a amazing fundraiser for a great program. Girls on the Run is a non-profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd grade to the 8th grade and combines training for a 5K run and healthy living. With purchase of a ticket, the event included a wine and food tasting in the beautiful Mountain Stream Conference Room at the Village at Squaw Valley, and a film festival where all movies were made by women, for women, and about women. There was also a live auction to benefit Girls on the Run- Sierras with prizes such as a Gold Ski Pass for Squaw Valley, a trip to South America, as well as other many wonderful prizes. If you are interested in volunteering, donating or learn more about the program, check out their website; http://www.girlsontherunsierras.org/.

More Great Times at the Village

Another successful event at the Village at Squaw Valley. The team at the Village keeps bringing great times, music, and drinks. The 6th, and hopefully not last, annual Brews, Jazz, and Funk Fest brought amazing live Jazz and more than 20 micro brews for all over 21 to enjoy. Like always, with another event comes another day of perfect weather at Squaw Valley; and because the event benefited the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe, man (and woman's) best friend were crowding the cobblestone streets of the Village. The likes and sounds of Karl Denson, Ivan Neville, and much more put a smile on everyone's face and dance in their feet while they grasped a cold one in one, or both, of their hands. If you missed it, do not worry, because the Village still has more live music and events coming this September.

September 6th brings the 21st Alpen Wine Festival. From 2-5PM on that Sunday, live music and tastings from over 40 Wineries from the Northern California area come to please. September 19th and 20th, the 6th Annual Art Bark Fest comes back to the Village from 11AM-5PM each day. Animal themed activities(like watching a dog jump rope!), more free live music, and again wine tastings will keep you having fun at the Village at Squaw Valley.

If you are thinking about staying at the Village, they have great deals to save money on your stay. Check out the Village Events Package to see how much you can save so you don't have to worry about driving home for these great events.

A Successful First Wanderlust Festival

The inaugural Wanderlust Festival was both a success and an enjoyment for all. From the Yoga minds and bodies to the indie rock and influential DJ's, nothing could have made the event better. There wasn't a cloud in the perfect blue sky and the scenery of the Sierras and Lake Tahoe were breathtaking. And when the sun got a bit hot, hundreds of people went into Lake directly behind the venue; where the usual sight of ice and snow was seen as a rarely seen swimming hole for all in the hot sun of summer. The unfortunate and sad sickness to Michael Franti put what could have been a disappointment to the Festival, but with Spoon, Common, Girl Talk and more, the festival went on without a hitch. We do wish Michael could have been there and we give him our best. The Wanderlust Festival was even covered by the New York Times. See additional photos and read the article here.

If you were lucky enough to enjoy the aesthetic visions of the Kula Village and see the venue from mid-mountain of Squaw Valley, or if you unfortunately missed it, there is more this summer coming to the Village at Squaw Valley. Bluesdays has been a hit thus far, bringing in great blues bands every Tuesday for Free at 6:00 PM. Check out our Bluesdays Package offering a 1 Bedroom Suite for only $99/night.

Also, if Jazz and beer are more your style, check out the 8th Annual Brews, Jazz, and Funk Fest coming August 15th and 16th. This Free event brings some of the most recognized Jazz and Funk live music as well as samplings of over 20 micro and macro breweries. You can save money staying at the Village by booking with the Events Package on our website. In addition, this event benefits the Truckee Tahoe Humane Society.
