Hot August Nights 2027
Start your engines!
Get ready, Reno-Sparks—Hot August Nights is back and bigger than ever for the 41st Anniversary Celebration from July 30 - August 8, 2027! For 10 straight days, the streets rumble with horsepower, music fills the air, and the nostalgia of the 50s, 60s, and 70s takes center stage.
Since 1986, Hot August Nights has grown into one of the largest classic car events in the world, with 6,000 officially registered vehicles (1979 or older) rolling into the Reno Tahoe region. This is where memories are made, chrome shines brightest, and the legends of yesterday meet the passion of today.
