Embraced by the community since 1996, July in Reno only means one thing, Artown! This arts and cultural festival features over 500 multidisciplinary events including music, dance, theater, visual arts, workshops, art walks and much more. Offering a majority of events free to the public, experience fun for the whole family and celebrate all that the arts have to offer.

Imagine your toes in the sand, a fantastic bottle of wine nearby, a gourmet meal and first-class entertainment with friends and family during a perfect Lake Tahoe sunset. You’re not dreaming, you’re experiencing the enchantment of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor State Park in July and August. The amphitheater is one of the most scenic venues in the world.

Burning Man isn’t your usual festival. It’s a vibrant participatory metropolis generated by its citizens. In late August, Burners gather in Northern Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, a temporary and vibrant metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-reliance, self-expression and self-discovery. They create art, exchange ideas, and participate in the burning of the Man, a symbol whose meaning is as varied as the attendees themselves.
