Silent disco on the beach at Kings Beach at dusk
North Tahoe Sessions · Kings Beach, CA · 2027

OFF PEAK

A free, all-ages silent disco on the sand — in the months Tahoe forgets about. Two Saturdays. One beach. Headphones on, lake in front of you.

Shoulder season, on purpose

Two Saturdays in 2027

Not the Fourth of July. Not Presidents' Day. The quiet weekends when the lake is still ours — when locals can actually get a parking spot and visitors get the real North Shore.

Session 01SaturdayMay 22

Spring thaw. Beach opens for the season with a sunset set and a late-night headphone party under the lights.

Session 02SaturdaySept 18

Fall color. The last warm weekend before the first snow — the send-off for summer.

How it works

Three channels. Zero noise complaints.

01

Grab headphones

Wireless headsets at the tent, free with an ID or a phone. Three colored channels, three DJs, you pick the room.

02

Dance on the sand

From the outside it's a crowd dancing to nothing. Inside the headphones it's the loudest party on the lake. All ages, stroller-friendly, dog-tolerant.

03

Stay for the sunset set

GR8 closes each session with a live set built that weekend during the residency — new music, first play, right there.

The other half

Weekend artist residency

Each session is paired with a residency weekend: visiting producers, dancers and filmmakers land in North Tahoe, set up a mobile studio, make a record and shoot the footage — then premiere it on the beach. It's the public-facing side of AIRB n' Beats.

"Tahoe's best weekends are the ones nobody books. That's when the locals come out and the lake is quiet. We're throwing the party for those days."
