The Torchlight Parade in Lake Tahoe, CA is hosted by
Kirkwood Ski & Summer Resort and it a fun way to include kids in New Year's Eve celebrations. The resort hosts a number of fun snow-based activities that both kids and adults can try out but the night belongs to the kids ages 10 and up with a special Torchlight Parade. Kids who are eight and nine can also participate but need adult accompaniment.
The
Kirkwood Ski & Summer Resort in Kirkwood, CA near Lake Tahoe makes the event special for youngsters. They hire a DJ to provide some great music and the snack bar stays open too to feed these hungry, energetic kids. If the kids are old enough (must be at least 10) to hold the torch light themselves, their parents or guardians can watch from the sidelines.
Older kids and kids with adult companions ski through the run called the Racecourse with a special holiday torch in hand. This occurs once it gets dark so the impact of these fire torches skiing down the course is remarkable. With the reflections of fire against the white snow, it is quite an amazing site. What a way for the kids (and adults) to ring in the New Year!
Accompanying the Torchlight Parade in Lake Tahoe, kids have the option at the
Kirkwood Ski & Summer Resort of also going ice skating, snow tubing and participating in a variety of kid-themed events. Add some fireworks and you have a great, festive way to spend New Year's Eve.
