AN EVENING WITH DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES
2022-10-20 17:00 | Nugget Casino Resort, 1100 Nugget Avenue,, Sparks, NV
About The Performers: Daryl Hall & John Oates have sold more albums than any other duo in music history. Their 1973 debut album, Abandoned Luncheonette, produced by Arif Mardin, yielded the Top 10 single, “She’s Gone,” which also went to #1 on the R&B charts when it was covered by Taveras. The duo recorded one more album with Atlantic, War Babies, before they left and promptly signed to RCA. Their tenure at RCA would catapult the duo to international superstardom.
From the mid-’70s to the mid-’80s, the duo would score six #1 singles, including “Rich Girl” (also #1 R&B), “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) (also #1 R&B), “Maneater” and “Out of Touch” from their six consecutive multi-platinum albums—’76’s Bigger Than Both of Us, ’80’s Voices, ’81’s Private Eyes, ‘82’s H2O, ‘83’s Rock N Soul, Part I and ‘84’s Big Bam Boom. The era would also produce an additional 5 Top 10 singles, “Sara Smile,” “One on One,” “You Make My Dreams,” “Say It Isn’t So” and “Method of Modern Love.”
In 2014, Daryl Hall and John Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

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

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.

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.

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.

A.V.A. Ballet Theatre presents the classic Swan Lake on September 17th and 18th at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. The Reno Philharmonic Orchestra will perform the haunting score to this wonderful ballet. Re-staged and re-choreographed by Alexander Van Alstyne, Swan Lake is the story of Odette who was turned into a swan by the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart. She tells the handsome Prince Siegfried that the only way the spell can be broken is if a man, pure in heart, pledges his love to her. Von Rothbart tries to keep the two apart but in the end they ascend to the heavens above Swan Lake. Professional dancers from throughout the country will star in the lead roles. The large cast includes many talented dancers from four different ballet studios in the Reno area.
