Today
🎨 Crafternoon: Storm in a Cup @ Sierra View Library | Friday (9/5) at 3:30pm – Forget the weather channel—this Friday, you can make your own storm in a cup. Families are invited to roll up their sleeves for an hour of crafty, hands-on fun that’s equal parts science and art. Rain or shine, it’s the perfect way to spark creativity and keep the kids busy after school.
🏄♂️ First Fridays Surf Rock Party @ Pele Utu | Friday (9/5) at 8:00pm – If you’ve been craving beachside energy without the drive, head to Pele Utu for surf rock throwback tunes, rum-fueled island cocktails, and enough Hawaiian shirts to break your wardrobe. It’s our desert’s most convincing island escape, flip-flops optional.
This weekend
👑 Annual Pride Drag Brunch @ Cafe Whitney | Saturday (9/6) at 10:30am – Drag brunch is sashaying into Café Whitney for Reno Pride, with Haus of Does Moore serving up dazzling lip-syncs, over-the-top outfits, and bottomless mimosas. It’s like Sunday church if your pastor wore six-inch heels. Come for the glitter, stay for community vibes.
🍽️ Downtown Reno Food Tour @ Downtown Reno | Saturday (9/6) at 11:00am – If your lunch routine is feeling stale, let’s hit the Downtown Reno Food Tour. We’ll wander from mom-and-pop taco shacks to sleek wine bars, sample generous bites, swap local war stories, and emerge full, smug, and oddly proud of our city.
✂️ Kids Craft with Doodle Your Soul @ Reno Public Market | Saturday (9/6) at 12:00pm – This Saturday Reno Public Market is turning its tables over to pint-size Picassos for a free arts and crafts session with Doodle Your Soul. Just RSVP so they know how many googly eyes to buy, and stick around for your required adult-supervision cameo.
🏍️ Golden Chain Rally @ Smart & Final Extra | Sunday (9/7) at 8:00am – If you’ve ever muttered ‘I need a solo spin’ while stuck in traffic, join our Golden Chain Cruise along Hwy 49, hugging the Yuba River’s twists. We’ll lunch in Nevada City, then enjoy two hours of mountain hairpin nirvana. Pack water, pride, maybe tissues.
💐 Floral Resin Jewelry @ Wandering Wyld | Sunday (9/7) at 1:00pm – Ditch the same old retail therapy and get your hands a little sticky at this floral resin jewelry workshop with Brittany from Sonshine Arts. You’ll be mixing resin, pressing real flowers, and walking away with a custom pendant and earrings, no art degree required.
🧹 Final Summer Series Cleanup @ Huffaker Hills Trailhead | Sunday (9/7) at 6:00pm – Summer’s final encore calls for a sunset hike and some park therapy at Huffaker Hills Trailhead, where you’ll pick up trash, tweak trailheads, and witness nature’s slow-motion post-fire comeback. Supplies, snacks, drinks, kid and dog friendly. Just bring sturdy shoes and water.
Next week
⛳ 1849 Foundation Golf Tournament @ Silver Legacy Resort Casino | Monday (9/8) at 9:00am – Grab your wedges, slip on those golf shoes, and dust off that swing. Join fellow locals on Reno’s greens for a round that segues into a banquet and shockingly competitive beer pong tourney. If you’re feeling ambitious, stick around Monday for bonus golf and more.
🏀 Military Sports Camp | Monday (9/8) at 2:00pm – Leave your lazy weekend at home and cheer on our local vets as they swap lounge chairs for sled hockey, rock climbing, adaptive cycling, and more. It’s a free sports retreat for every skill level, with top gear, camaraderie, and not a single motivational speech.
