It's time to make you weekend plans now, and with events like the Balloon Races, the X-Treme Ability Challenge, and Camel racing, you will have no excuse to be bored!
Pack a blanket and get the hot cocoa, it’s time for the 37th annual Great Reno Balloon Race! This year is bigger and better than ever with upwards of 100 different colored masterpieces taking to the sky! Whether you love the Glow Show, are a fan of Dawn Patrol, or want to show off in the Biggest Little Pajama Party, it’s sure to have something you love! That runs Saturday and Sunday mornings at Rancho San Rafael Park! For more information, you can click here.
Get ready for a death defying performance paired with some amazing music at Cirque De La Symphonie! The set list is all based on classic movie themes from West Side Story to Star Wars!
“This is choreographed to the music so it's very artistically and beautifully done, typically a duo, and if you’re sitting in the audience they will be soaring out over your head in the most beautiful way possible," said CEO of the Reno Phil Tim Young.
You can also attend a gala prior to the event celebrating the Reno Phil’s 50th anniversary! That's all at the GSR, gala at 5, show starts at 8. For more information, you can click here.
