Whats Reno like during Hot August Nights?
Crowded and fun. The biggest event of the year and the whole town is alive with old cars and people outdoors everywhere. Make your reservations a year in advance if you want to enter your car or if you want a room. There are 5,000 cars officially entered in the event and more than 800,000 visitors counting duplicate visits to different events. There are sock hops, cruises, the show and shine, Elvis and Marilyn impersonators and live music from performers like the Beach Boys and Frankie Avalon. Events are not only in downtown Reno but in Sparks and the Peppermill-Atlantis area on South Virginia Street. It’s basically a regional party with parades of vintage cars and people dressed in 1950’s style to have fun indoors and outdoors. Come to Reno and have fun, that’s what it’s all about.
