Western Night At The Elm Estate
Grab your boots and join us for a night of line dancing. After the success of the past few Western nights at The Elm Estate we’ve gathered our vendors together, booked our teachers and we’re ready to go for another round. It seems like Reno can’t get enough of the Cowboy theme and we can certainly see why. Happy hour, food trucks and dancing… you wouldn’t want to miss this. Get your tickets here.
Beyond Van Gough
Throughout the whole month of September, you can go and experience the immersive Van Gough exhibition at the convention center. The exhibition has traveled the world and we are so excited about it coming to Reno. A great experience for the whole family to attend. They’ll even have a guided yoga practice under the starry sky on the 10th of September. Check out and purchase your tickets here.
Street Vibrations
September 22nd- 25th- Music, metal, and motorcycles. Attracting over 50,000 motorcycle riders each year, this is the place to be if you’re into your two-wheel drives. Taking place in Reno, Virginia City, and Truckee this event offers so much fun for participants and spectators. The windy roads that lead you from town to town are said to be the perfect cruising experience for the riders. With daily events, competitions, and fun to be had this is an event worth checking out.
