Blaze down the slopes in the World’s Largest New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade at Palisades Tahoe on December 31, 2025! Skiers and Snowboarders take to the mountain with colourful LED torches, making it look like a moving chain of fire! It’s an annual New Year’s Eve party at Palisades Tahoe and the largest torchlight parade in the world!
The event is FREE and super family-friendly! Anyone aged five and up can participate but must be an intermediate skier or snowboarder. LED torches will be given out at the Exhibition chairlift, but only to guests with wristbands for their registered timeslot, so jump online now and reserve your place in advance. Then, head to the Palisades Tahoe Ticket Office to collect your wristband before the event. The Parade begins at 5 p.m., with 15-minute timeslots taking off until 6:30 p.m.
The New Year’s Eve festivities heat up after the parade with disco tubing at 5 PM, 6 PM, and 7 PM. There is a fireworks show and rock concert at 7 PM. Grab a drink at Bar One & Plaza Bar while listening to live music. There’s even an East Coast-style balloon drop taking you into the New Year and a kid-friendly balloon drop!
Sandwich your fun evening with a New Year’s Eve Family Celebration before and after the parade. The Village at Palisades Tahoe has shopping, dining, and more (like yoga classes!) that will be fun for every age in your group. Take advantage of the last New Year’s Eve in this decade and reserve your spot now to participate in the World’s Largest Torchlight Parade! It will be a New Year’s Eve party to remember and one your family will talk about for a lifetime.
