Home is not where you live, it’s where you belong. When you have an opportunity to meet people, develop relationships and acquaintances, your sense of belonging increases. These acquaintances can provide connections to other people, things to do, places to explore, ways to get involved.
BIG LIFE Connections is a program developed by the Truckee Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Town of Truckee designed to:
Truckee is your base camp for fall adventures to explore with recreation right out your back door. Hike or bike on world-class trails, paddleboard Donner Lake, camp under the stars, rock climb the towering granite slabs on Donner Summit, play a round of golf with beautiful vistas in the horizon, or lounge on the beach. When the colors start to change, there’s peaceful awesome autumn adventures to be had.

Start off the holiday season with a beloved Truckee tradition – the Bud Fish Tree Lighting Ceremony – and enjoy some holiday cheer beforehand in the Truckee Train Depot.
Get downtown early and enjoy shopping and festive holiday cheer as the town is lit up and decorated for the season. Bar of America is hosting a cookie decorating party, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there for pictures, and the tree lighting ceremony begins at 5:15. Hot cocoa is provided by Truckee Rotary and there’s often caroling after.
