City of Reno creates new downtown event space

The City of Reno is adding a new special events space to downtown, near the Reno Arch, on the ReTRAC east trench cover. The new venue will feature a, fenced-in event space, complete with new trees and cafe-style string lighting.

While longer-term plans for the area are still being developed, the pilot event area will allow for immediate and secure mid-week programming and events.

To keep the event space busy during non-peak times, City staff has created a Thursday evening concert series for the area, featuring local musicians. The Eldorado is partnering with the City of Reno to sell drinks within the event space and provide additional seating during the concert series. Staff is also reaching out to local food trucks and artists to add to the event. Interested vendors can reach out to the special events office by contacting hilla@reno.gov.
