I am writing on behalf of the South Tahoe Chamber of Commerce to express our extreme gratitude to the Hard Rock Lake Tahoe for literally saving the Fourth of July for our community and the thousands of visitors who love and honor this tradition. The Fourth of July Fireworks on the South Shore has caused many layers of benefit. It has unified our local residents as an event that feels both local and shared with our visitors. The fireworks have generated tourism in a way that has grown to epic proportions as evidenced by the visitors who have come every year without fail.
