- 02We’re thrilled—truly beyond excited—to welcome you to our new home at this historic, lakefront gem. Valhalla Tahoe offers an unmatched blend of natural beauty, character, and soul that perfectly mirrors the spirit of our festival. The Valhalla grounds include The Grand Hall, featuring warm wood floors, a stunning wraparound upstairs deck, a massive stone fireplace, and French doors that open wide to lake air and light. The Boathouse Theater offers classic theater seating and a stage framed by windows overlooking the shores of Lake Tahoe, an intimate, cinematic setting for music, and panel talks. Between the Grand Hall and the theater, you’ll find expansive outdoor grounds that will host our most prominent main stage, a shared gathering space where all guests come together for sessions, sunset vibes, and dancing under the stars. This new lakefront setting allows us to elevate the experience with more flow, more connection, and more magic than ever before ✨

- 11We’re excited to share that the OMNI Tahoe Yoga Festival is moving to Valhalla Tahoe, a stunning lakefront venue that offers a smoother, more connected experience for everyone. The grounds are flat, easy to navigate, and just steps from the water, making it simple to flow between sessions, food, drinks, lake dips, and sauna time throughout the three days. While we’ve cherished our years at Heavenly and its incredible mountaintop views, at Valhalla, everyone onsite is part of the festival community; attendees, volunteers, vendors, and staff, creating a more intentional and immersive atmosphere. As for the midweek dates, Tahoe weekends can be quite busy. Shifting slightly earlier in August and into the week helps: Ease local traffic and crowding Support local businesses during quieter days Offer better access to lodging and campgrounds Encourage guests to truly unplug and take time for self-care
