Reno Events

Reno Air Races and Show

For five days each year the Reno Air Races turns the sky's over Reno into non-stop high flying action. From classic vintage airplanes, to the latest in aviation innovation, the Reno Air Show attracts flying enthusiasts from all over the world. Racers reach speeds of over 500 mph - by far the fastest-moving machines in motorsports! The event also includes a world-class top aerobatic performers, military and civil flight demonstrations, and a large display of static aircraft.

Reno Balloon Races

Each day of this two day Great Reno Balloon Races event top pilots duke it out over the skies of Reno. Over 100 balloons rise-to-the-skies in the most astonishing ascension of color and mass you've ever seen! Community Launch begins at 6:45AM. The early morning hour acts much like a good cup of coffee but without the side effect, while the air briskly releases hints of fall. Are you're ready? Looking around you see acres of fabric bellowing gently introducing panels of vibrant color into the landscape. As hot air encompasses the material, lift off begins and your spirits ascend with the hot-air balloons as they take flight.

Reno Bowling

The National Bowling Stadium offers a truly unique venue for meetings and events of all sorts. Named "Bowling Center of the Decade" by Bowler's Journal International, the National Bowling Stadium in downtown Reno is the only facility of its kind in the world. The Professional Bowling Association tour makes regular stops at the Stadium, along with bowling superstars and legends like Walter Ray Williams Jr., Parker Bohn III, Mike Aulby, Dick Weber and Earl Anthony. As far as national recognition is concerned, it's not unusual for NBS tournaments to be broadcast live on national television. Dubbed the "Taj Mahal of Tenpins," by The Los Angeles Times and "Pin Palace" by USA Today, people who bowl at the Stadium say it's "awesome." Bowling in Reno has never been better!

Reno Hot August Nights

Nostalgia in gears and Jimmy Dean tears. Outdoor concerts and events take place from beginning to end. Fans of hot rods and classic cars will find show and spit-shines, cruises and even drag races over the course of the event. For those who like to dance to the doo-wop-diddy sounds of early rock-n-roll can join a sock hop or even attend the Hot August Nights Prom. Other events include poker walks, poker runs, auctions, cruises, raffles and contests. Hot August Nights brings life back to the past, both for those who remember those days as well as those who were not old enough to personally experience the fun of cruisin' Main Street America in classic cars and dancing to the now-oldies rock and roll music. You dont want to miss Hot August Nights !

Reno Jazz Festival

Attending the Reno Jazz Festival is like putting emphasis on the love of life. It's an easy choice for anyone who loves both to make. It's the very idea of love on piano, string, horn or drum that brings people to Reno to share the experience of jazz. It's the very idea that one can be transported by music across time, and space without distance. Jazz is the medium that can bring bodies to move and sway like cat-o-nine-tails in the wind, possessing mystical wings that will lift and carry and place you where only your soul remembers its been before. Listen to the bass notes squeezed and pushed and eventually meeting the bow with resonating tones. Let the potency of that resonance overcome anything unlike itself as horn and drum reach the same tonal arena of your mind. As the sound becomes larger it will surround you with itself, transforming the listener into both the art and artist. 'This is cool jazz, man.' Combine that now with some of the best young and aspiring musical artists in the country, assembled in Reno to compete for recognition and honor, and you then have more than you could want, but less than enough. It is your choice; it is your love; it is your jazz. Join us in April for the Reno Jazz Festival .

Reno Rodeo

The Wildest Richest Rodeo in the West! With over $300,000.00 in prize money, the Reno Nevada Rodeo truly is the richest rodeo in the west! The Reno Rodeo has been bucking out for 86 years and there is no sign of it slowing down. Started in 1919 by community leaders, it has grown into the great powerhouse of rodeo that it is today, attracting top cowboys and offering top prizes that truly make this rodeo the "Wildest, Richest Rodeo In The West!!" The Reno Rodeo Grounds are located within minutes of downtown Reno, where you can enjoy first class hotels and casinos.

Reno Street Vibrations

It begins like a rumble from a far distant but fast approaching storm. Women cover little children and pull them aside. Men straddle their mounts, getting ready to ride. Thunderous claps converge into overlapping blasts of harmonic sound. City lights flicker on and off, as if sending signals to outposts yet unaware. Strangers run for shelter in fear of this tempest from hell. Suddenly the earth begins to tremble, the streets vibrate and children peek wide-eyed from behind their mother's skirt. Everyone holds their breath. Then, as if an entire town heaved a sigh of relief, cheers rise up from gathering crowds, bands begin to play, vendors open their booths and hotels throw open their lobby doors—as thousands of rolling riders bonded to their tricked-out machines begin to arrive—en masse. The party is ON! It's Street Vibrations . Held every year the fourth weekend in September.

Shakespeare Festival

The Great Reno-Tahoe Shakespeare festival . "For many years, the NSC has provided Nevadans with productions that celebrate cultural and social reform, while giving new life to Shakespeare's timeless writing. The company offers beautifully staged performances to diverse communities and audiences, with the goal to take productions and programs to every county in Nevada....The opportunities which the NSC provides to students are unique; many may never again be exposed to theatre in such an intimate and exciting way. I again congratulate the NSC on their recent selection as one of the NEA's Shakespeare in American Communities recipients." Senator Harry Reid, July 6, 2005.

If any one of those good reasons to visit Reno didn't tickle your fancy, we have another nice surprise for you. The Reno casino hotels themselves are attractions in their own right, many with headliner shows and events able to wind you up like a top! If, on the other hand, you are just kicking tires, looking for something, shall we say different, maybe you should try a little Hotel Poetry ! (It's just for fun...)
