Tahoe South’s famed “Lights on the Lake” Fourth of July continues to generate international buzz, with the latest accolades coming from The Discovery Channel and Bing.com/MSN.

Bing.com’s new travel section powered by MSN, recognized Tahoe’s synchronized music and light firework display as No. 9 in the world, along with Paris, Sydney and Hong Kong.

The Discovery Channel’s Top 6 places in the U.S. to watch July 4 fireworks displays, include “Lights on the Lake.” The latest plaudits add to a growing list that also includes notables from NBC’s Today Show, USA Today, Travel & Leisure and ForbesTraveler.com.

With the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe as backdrop, the 24-minute display is set to digitized streamed music by radio stations KRLT 93.9 and KOWL 1490. The pyrotechnic extravaganza is celebrated annually by more than 100,000 on the shore of South Tahoe, and tens of thousands who watch from all points on the lake by boat and across the shores to the west, east and north.

The show begins at 9:45 p.m. with best viewing spots around South Shore’s sandy beaches, including the new Lakeview Commons area, Nevada Beach, Timber Cove Marina, Bijou Community Park, Edgewood Tahoe or on the lake a board M.S. Dixie II and Tahoe Queen Paddlewheelers.

    It’s SOUTH LAKE TAHOE!!! Tahoe South sounds dyslexic. How can the name of a town just randomly get changed by a few people trying to market the place?

    Fireworks were great once again, thanks. But I almost choked when the opening comments on krlt radio said “Tahoe South”. I think we should boot the visitors authority(?) and anyone else connected to the name, way south, Mammoth needs help.
