It’s that time again…the Reno River Festival has officially posted itself upon the shores of the Truckee River, boasting nearly 100 vendors in its outdoor expo, almost a dozen bands from around the country including The English Beat and Truth & Salvage Co., hundreds of competing athletes and runners, and food and beverage offerings to tempt every taste.
It’s another weekend packed with competitions, activities, music, entertainment and more all in celebration of the beautiful Truckee River Whitewater Park. Join us as we enjoy the wonderful Sierra Nevada weather and welcome the summer special events season.
