Reno Riverside Farmers Market
2022-10-08 09:00 - 12:00 | McKinley Arts and Culture Center, 925 Riverside Dr., Reno, NV
The Riverside Farmers Market is Reno’s truly local market, with all vendors growing, raising, or making their goods within the tightest possible radius around Reno. We showcase small, local, and sustainable farmers and ranchers who believe that healthy food begins with a healthy land. We also are home to Reno’s newest farmers and ranchers, making it the perfect place to meet the
fine folks growing food locally for the Truckee Meadows community.
Our strong commitment to high-quality goods means that you can always count on things like pesticide-free produce or pasture-raised meats and eggs at our market. Even our prepared food vendors strive to use organic and unprocessed ingredients as we re-envision what a healthy food system looks like.
The Riverside Farmers Market is a taste of how all open-air markets and bazaars once were, back when the land was less burdened with contamination and human intervention. It’s also a nod to the future, as we connect a community of conscious consumers with local organic and regenerative farmers and ranchers,
and talented makers of things beautiful and delicious.

Italian Festival in Reno
2022-10-08 - 2022-10-09 | Downtown Reno
The Reno Italian Festival brings Little Italy to The Biggest Little City with a variety of events, including a wine walk, Italian farmers’ market, grape stomp by local celebrities, a sauce tasting, a kiddie land, and, of course, lots and lots of pasta and other traditional Italian dishes.
The Italian Festival Reno celebrates its 40th year on Saturday, Oct. 8 and Sunday, Oct. 9. Held close to the famous Reno Arch, the Eldorado Italian Festival is sure to bring smiles and tons of live entertainment throughout the two-day street festival. Attendees are invited to “finire di mangia” – or “eat up,” as the Italians say. Dishes to look forward to include chicken Parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, meat ravioli with Bolognese, tortellini Eldorado, Gnocchetti pesto, Italian sausage and peppers, fried ravioli, fried calamari, and the ever-famous and scrumptious mushroom ravioli with porcini cream sauce. Complete your meal with delicious desserts such as homemade gelato, cannolis, or Nutella ricotta Crespo, a sweet ricotta crêpe with strawberries and a drizzle of Nutella.
One huge draw of the Eldorado Italian Festival is the Great Italian Sauce Cook-off. Italian families from across the West Coast bring their recipes to life right on the street for guests to taste. People’s Choice ballots for favorite sauce are handed out with the purchase of pasta. Vote for your favorite and help a vendor win the sought-after prize and title of best Italian sauce on the West Coast.
The Italian Festival Reno event begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8 and runs through 6 p.m. On Sunday, Oct. 9, the event kicks off at 11 a.m. and closes out at 5 p.m. It takes place outside the Eldorado Resort and Casino, 345 N. Virginia St., Reno. Admission is free.
Don’t miss out on this taste of Italy at home!

Gary Clark Jr.
2022-10-06 19:00 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
With his acclaimed debut Blak and Blu, Gary Clark, Jr. emerged at the dawn of the 2010s as the great hope for modern electric blues. He spent the rest of the decade fulfilling that promise, both by continuing the blues-rock tradition and expanding it to encompass contemporary funk, rock, and hip-hop. Initially, Clark played his cards relatively close to the vest, emphasizing the blues heritage of his hometown in Austin, Texas (and earning the endorsement of local legend Jimmie Vaughan). But Clark quickly took risks other contemporary blues guitarists didn’t, collaborating with R&B singer Alicia Keys and modern rockers Foo Fighters, while branching out to political protest on the charged 2019 album This Land.

Lunch celebration for volunteers and partners – 12 – 2 pm. A lunch celebration will be provided at a central location for both projects.

What we are doing: Volunteers of all ages and skill levels are invited to this fun, hands-on restoration event.

Following the catastrophic Caldor Fire, upcoming winter storms threaten to wash tons of erodible soils and sediment off of steep, scorched mountain slopes and into the creeks and rivers that flow into Lake Tahoe. Healthy streams, meadows and wetlands act as natural pollution filters to Keep Tahoe Blue. Volunteers do not need previous experience to participate in the projects. Help us heal the land to Keep Tahoe Blue.
What to bring: Sturdy boots, long pants and long sleeves, sunglasses, work gloves (if you have them), a full reusable water bottle, any snacks you may want and following current CDC Covid guidelines.
We provide: Project equipment, sanitation materials, clean gloves, training, wrapped snacks, and giveaways.
Partners: United States Forest Service – Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.
Further details:

Final details will be sent a few days prior to the event date to registered volunteers.
Volunteers under 18 will need to have a guardian sign the waiver and the volunteer must bring the signed waiver to the event. The guardian may also attend the event and can sign off for the minor at the event.

Genoa Candy Dance
2022-09-24 - 2022-09-25 | CA
Photo by Candice Vivien
The Genoa Candy Dance is a historical event famous for its homemade candy and features more than 300 craft, art, and food vendors. Tens of thousands of attendees flock to this fun-filled, two-day affair annually, and this year should be no exception.
The candy dance in Genoa had humble beginnings. In 1919, townswomen held a dinner and fundraiser to pay for the purchase of streetlights to brighten the small town in Nevada. They crafted homemade candy — including various kinds of brittles and taffies, divinity, penuche, and the all-time favorite, fudge — and passed it out during the dance as an incentive for couples to attend. The first event was such a success that it has continued annually for more than 100 years.
The Genoa Candy Dance still holds true to being a fundraiser for the town to cover general costs such as electricity, events, and more. The candy dance would not be possible without the efforts of many volunteers who give their time and energy each year. Genoa Candy Dance organizers still are accepting volunteers. If you’re interested in volunteering, you can sign up here.
Along with the traditional dinner, dance, and candy, since 1974 the candy dance in Genoa has boasted a large arts and crafts fair. It’s known as one of the greatest craft fairs in Northern Nevada, drawing artisans and visitors from around the country. Another attraction of the candy dance is Genoa’s quaint charm (the town was Nevada’s first settlement). Genoa is set among steep mountains and mature landscaping and features some buildings crafted in a late-Victorian architectural style.
Admission to the arts and crafts fair is free, but tickets are required to attend the traditional dinner-dance. The dining space is limited so purchase your tickets to the dinner-dance soon. Participants can purchase tickets in person at Genoa’s town office, online, or by phone. For an online purchase, visit here and to make a phone purchase, call 775-782-8696 between 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Mon. – Fri.
The event begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25 and runs through 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25. The dinner is held 4:30 – 10 p.m. on Saturday, with dinner service starting at 5:30 p.m. and accompanied by live music. For details about the event, visit here.
Genoa is just an hour’s drive from Reno. Special parking and shuttles are available to make the trip easier.
Don’t miss out on this historic, unique, and pleasure-filled event!

Lynyrd Skynyrd
2022-09-23 18:00 | Nugget Casino Resort, 1100 Nugget Avenue,, Sparks, NV
About Lynyrd Skynyrd: The legendary rockers are best known for the RIAA Platinum-certified “Sweet Home Alabama” and self-proclaimed signature song, “Free Bird,” that Rolling Stone said was “easily the most requested live song in existence.” With everlasting hits such as “Simple Man,” “Gimme Three Steps,” “What’s Your Name,” “Call Me The Breeze,” “You Got that Right,” and more, it is easy to see why Rolling Stone named Lynyrd Skynyrd one of its 100 Greatest Bands of All Time.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band that USA Today called the “whiskey-soaked genre’s most popular and influential crew,” is ready to return to live music and rock Billy Bob’s for the first time as a band. Original member Gary Rossington will be joined by Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Keith Christopher, Peter Keys, Dale Krantz Rossington, and Carol Chase.
LynyrdSkynyrd.com
About The Outlaws: For The Outlaws, it’s always been about the music. For more than 40 years, the Southern Rock legends celebrated triumphs and endured tragedies to remain one of the most influential and best-loved bands of the genre. Today, The Outlaws have returned with new music, new focus, and an uncompromising new mission: It’s about a band of brothers bound together by history, harmony, and the road. It’s about a group that respects its own legacy while refusing to be defined by it’s past. But most of all, it’s about pride.

Grupo Fantasma
2022-09-03 19:00 | Oats Park Arts Center, 151 East Park Street, Fallon, NV, 89406
Grupo Fantasma has been praised as one of the most important independent acts in the Latin genre and has continually defied expectations to create one of the most unique musical voices to come out of the United States in the 21st century. In 2011, they garnered further acclaim by winning a Grammy (their second such nomination) for their self-produced release El Existential on Nat Geo Music which the Wall Street Journal called, “Latin music both new and traditional … vibrant fusions that transcend easy classification.”
The band’s incendiary live show, declared by NPR as “seamless whenever and wherever they’re on stage” has brought the band to major festivals and venues internationally including Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, North Sea Jazz Festival Kennedy Center, London’s O2 Arena, Montreal Jazz Festival, as well as two tours to Kuwait and Iraq to entertain US troops and a recent tour in Pakistan and Qatar. Their diverse spectrum of devoted fans speaks to the ensemble’s universal appeal beyond just Latin or world music.
“Real musicians playing real music.”

To participate in the Sparks Rib Cookoff, barbecue companies travel from far-away cities and towns such as Pittsburgh; Minneapolis; Fayetteville, Ark.; Rochester, Ind.; Elizabethtown, Ky.; Burr Ridge, Ill.; Frenchtown, Mont.; and Borger, Texas. And you’ll find some local vendors as well, including Brothers Barbecue from Reno, BJ’s Barbecue from Sparks, Carson City BBQ from Carson City, and last year’s winner, Git-R-Smoked, from Sparks. All vie for bragging rights and more than $19,000 in cash.
Fun facts: Each year, the estimated 350,000 to 400,000 barbecue enthusiasts consume more than 250,000 pounds of mouth-watering ribs at this yummy event. People travel from all over the nation and across the world, including from Australia, to attend the Reno NV Rib Cookoff.
The best way to enjoy the Reno Rib Cookoff is to purchase VIP tickets. This allows you to try dishes from all the vendors, and it guarantees you a place to sit and enjoy each flavorful dish. To top it off, tickets include free beverages to tame the taste buds from some of the spicier selections or to compliment a sweet hickory sauce, for instance. Tickets for the Sparks Rib Cookoff can be purchased at Nuggetribcookoff.com.
Along with the delicious food, the Reno Rib Cookoff features a long list of vendors selling clothing, jewelry, toys, and much more. Other activities include a huge arts and crafts show, Beer Garden, Kids Carnival, the aforementioned VIP Area, and top-named entertainment performing on two stages. About 20 different bands and artists, including Everlast, Jefferson Starship, Fuel, Adam Sanders, and Eddie Montgomery, entertain the crowd. Most days of the festival, the live music showcase begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m.
Now, when is the Reno Rib Cookoff? It takes place over Labor Day weekend annually. In 2022, it begins Wednesday, Aug. 31 and continues through Monday, Sept. 5. There is no admission fee, and the event is open to the public. Free parking is located near the event, but is extremely limited and fills up quickly. We recommend taking advantage of the free shuttle service. If you’re coming in from out of town to enjoy the Reno Rib Cookoff, sometimes called the Sparks Rib Cookoff due to its location, stay in the heart of the action at the Nugget Casino Resort, located on Victorian Square. The festival spans more than six city blocks in the heart of downtown Sparks on Victorian Avenue between 14th Street and Pyramid Way.
Leave your non-service animals at home (they are not permitted in Victorian Square). But grab your friends and family members and bring your appetite to enjoy the sunshine, a cool glass of lemonade, and the best ribs you’ve ever eaten.
