South Lake Tahoe cops: Phish fans filthy
SLTPD officers say Phish fans left this garbage July 17. Photo/Provided
Phish started its summer concert tour in Stateline on July 17 by leaving a foul smell next door in California.
The South Lake Tahoe Police Department sent out this tweet the next day, “@phish Please help spread the word to your following to help protect our National Treasure and respect our residents/visitors. We will be out issuing citations.”
Officers were issuing citations on Tuesday night, but couldn’t keep with all the debris. Empty alcohol bottles and other trash were found throughout the streets near the outdoor venue at Harveys across the state line.
The group that is hard to pigeonhole into a genre will be back Wednesday night. They are practically becoming regulars at the Summer Outdoor Concert Series.
One LTN reader who witnessed the pre-concert festivities in the casino corridor on Tuesday said it was more reminiscent of New Year’s Eve.

It was ugly on the perimeter, hopefully the casinos paid in helping clean up the mess they profited on. Could you imagine if snow globe peeps had done that this bad?
It may be why there is more country & western this year. Jam bands who fans leave a mess, or CW fans who drink from the bar and gamble….
I wonder what kind of a crowd Donny and Marie will bring :>
