Artown
This event recurs every year, but the organiser has not published this year’s dates yet. The dates shown mark the period it normally occupies — check the official site before booking around it.
Reno's month-long July arts festival — around 350 events at about 100 venues across the city.
Artown runs for the whole of July, every year, and is the single best reason to be in Reno in summer. A large share of the programme is free and outdoors, in the city's parks and plazas.
The 2027 programme is not published yet. Dates below mark the month it always occupies; check artown.org from around April for the actual schedule.
