Home is not where you live, it’s where you belong. When you have an opportunity to meet people and develop relationships and acquaintances, your sense of belonging increases. These acquaintances can provide connections to other people, things to do, places to explore, and ways to get involved.
Community Connections is a program developed by the Truckee Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Town of Truckee designed to:
Connect with businesses and the people behind the business
Share Truckee’s character, culture, values — what it means to be a Truckee Local

We Had Fun with Santa & Mrs. at the Annual Holiday Farmers + Makers Holiday Block Party
We enjoyed meeting everyone who came by to snap a picture with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Annual Farmers + Makers Holiday Block Party on December 12. Holiday spirits were high with fresh snow and many farmers and artisans selling unique, beautiful functional art and delicious fresh produce and gourmet items at Tahoe Food Hub and Truckee Roundhouse. We always enjoy getting more people in to Sierra Community House’s food distribution warehouse, to learn about the good work they do helping people in our community with food insecurities.
Play More and Cook Less this Winter! Check Out Our Truckee Dining Guide
It’s fun to shop in Truckee. Local shops know what to recommend to get you and your family out on the mountain. And services are often discounted – buy your bike at a local shop and tune ups are usually free or low-cost and repairs are less expensive. Plus they’ll help you warantee items they sell, if needed.
With so many great local artisan shops, Truckee is full of unique, usable gifts. It’s been great to run into so many members of our community shopping, dining, and enjoying our great local services. Forget about parking and leave the driving to TART Connect! Service to downtown and anywhere in Truckee Town limits is FREE. And stay for dinner and dancing – Moody’s Bistro Bar + Beats and Bar of America have free live music Fridays and Saturdays. Alibi Ale Works and others also frequently feature live music.
