'Things 2 Do!' This Weekend

This weekend is going to be a busy one with a bunch of different events ranging from The Discovery Museum's adults only 'Freak Show' to a pre-rodeo truck show. You won’t have an excuse to be bored!

If your little one loves construction dozers and dreams of operating big rigs, now is the chance to make their dreams come true at the annual Reno Big Dig! Children of all ages get on and operate everything from dozers, graders, loaders and excavators.... with supervision that is. It's $120, but all the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. Get digging this Saturday from 9-3 at Rilite Aggregate! For more information or tickets, you can click here.

Things are going to get a little hairy this weekend, as the Best in the West Beard Fest hits downtown Reno! Come out for a day of free fun in the sun with a beard competition, auction, live music, food trucks, a kids zone and so much more! And if you don't like beards right away, do worry, they grow on you! The fun starts Saturday from 2-8 at Wingfield Park! For more info, you can click here.

Get your motor running and head out on the highway for the Street Vibrations Spring Rally! At this three day party you can expect hundreds of amazing motorcycles, continuous live music, slow bike races, scavenger hunts and more! The fun last all weekend in downtown Reno! For a list of events you can click here.

In preparation of the Reno Rodeo, it’s time for the 6th annual cowboy truck show! Come see who has the biggest, baddest and dirtiest trucks while enjoying tasty food truck dishes or a cold one in the beer garden! The event is free to the public, and all trucks are welcome to register whether they're old, new, funky or just plain cool! That's Saturday from 2-6 at the Bonanza Casino! For more information, you can click here.

Have you ever wanted to hold a human brain, or wondered what a bugs taste like? Well now's your chance at The Discovery Museums 'Freak Show!' This adults only event will showcase oddities and delicacies of the strangest nature from absinthe to a magician, and even have your fortune told!
