Special Events

Street Vibrations. Street Vibrations fill the town with motorcycles,
September 20 - 24 - 2006. Impaired by Nevada's archaic helmet law,
this celebration of two wheeled freedom nonetheless
gives us couch potatoes a glimpse of what life is all about.
Street Vibrations

Skiing. Our winter event is skiing at Mt. Rose and Squaw Valley,
about a half hour away. The City of Reno maintains its own mountain
ski facility for local youth at Sky Tavern.
And many of the other Lake Tahoe ski resorts
(Alpine Meadows, Heavenly, Kirkwood, North Star, and Sierra)
are also within an hour's drive or less.

Ice Skating The City provides a free ice skating rink each winter.
The popular rink is located in downtown Reno. Opens near the end of November
and runs through March. Skaters who want variety can make the short
(40 mile) drive to Squaw Valley, which normally has an ice rink of its own.

Reno Championship Rodeo. The Reno Rodeo
June 15 - 23 - 2007
Is Probably The Best Of American Rodeos.

Hot August Nights. Every year, at the outset of August,
Reno comes alive with the sights and sounds of a thousand old cars,
brought or driven here from all over the world.
This week is full of fun and frolic for the whole family,
particularly dads. Some of the cars are supped up, some not. All are beautiful.

Reno Tahoe Open. Every summer, golf enthusiasts are treated to PGA competition
at the Reno Tahoe Open, where some of the nation's top golfers duke it out.

Nevada State Fair. Late August brings the Nevada State Fair,
one of the nation's best. Wholesome fun for the whole family.
Only degenerates skip this annual home town fun.
August 23 - 27 - 2006
Nevada State Fair

Burning Man. Those who find the fair a bit too tame
can stock up in Reno for the Burning Man Festival in late August.
Some 30,000 people camp for about a week on the Black Rock Desert,
two hours north of town.

Great Reno Balloon Races. September doesn't really get started though
until the Balloon Races, in early September. Second only to the Albuquerque races,
the Reno Balloon Races are a visual and auditory delight of the first order.
Little kids stand in awe. Thousands crowd into Rancho San Rafael Park
and surrounding areas to watch over a hundred of the
world's most beautiful man made devices take to the air.
Great Balloon Races

National Championship Air Races. The Reno Air Races take our eyes skyward again.
They are scheduled for September 12-16 (Wednesday through Sunday), 2007.
The town fills up for these races, which are second to none.
