"Lights on the Lake" is big-time cacophonous South Lake Tahoe Summer Fun!

This video is the 4th of July fireworks finale in South Lake Tahoe, CA. An important date, celebrating our Independence, but also commemorating the date of passing of it's "Voice", John Adams, and it's "Pen", Thomas Jefferson.

It's called "Lights on the Lake", and this year the 4th of July South Lake Tahoe fireworks show is 24 minutes long, two more than last year.

This fireworks show, the finale is shown here, consisted of some 5,000 professional pyrotechnic shells, most of which were large 10-inch mortar fired.

Fireworks over Lake Tahoe's mirrored surface, well shows like this are hard to beat. More than 100,000 people watched from their favorite vantage points all over the Lake.

The show was designed by Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. and fired by Pyrodigital Consultants. It is one of the Top 5 fireworks displays in the nation as cited by The American Pyrotechnics Association.

Our fireworks show has been mentioned from NBC's Today Show, USA Today, Travel & Leisure and Forbes Traveler.com as one of the nation's top Fourth of July weekend festivities, according to the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority.
