Like many other students, I decided to take summer classes. When I signed up I expected to have a summer filled with studying and a lot of Netflix. I didn't really think there was much to do in Reno during the summer, considering the majority of my friends are back home, or embarking on adventures in new cities. I was WRONG. Reno has so many cool events during the summer. I’d say there is actually MORE to do in the summer than any other season. Here are some events for this month!
June 13- September 30 (every Wednesday)
Feed the Camel
At the Mckinley Arts & Culture Center from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.
To celebrate HUMP day Reno is putting on this awesome food truck event! Enjoy a unique selection of food and local beer by the river!
June 13 - October 1
The Village Market
At the Village Shopping Center from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.
The Village Market is a farmers market where you can get fresh produce. From assorted veggies to different seasonings- the market has it all! If you're a fan of markets you can also find a farmers market at the Summit Mall. They run from 9am-2pm
June 15
Reno Rodeo — Billy Currington Concert
At the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center — Doors open at 7 p.m.
If you enjoy the rodeo you'll want to make your way to this event! Advanced tickets start at $45.50 and reserved grandstand seating starts at $35.50. If you don't have time to buy your tickets in advance- don't worry! Tickets will be sold at the door with an additional $5.00.

This FREE concert brings live performances and local food trucks together every third thursday! So if you're saving up, but still want to get out of your house this event is perfect for you.
June 16
Ohana 2016
At the Nugget Casino Resort from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
This event really caught my attention! They have 12 different activity rooms and 100+ events! These events range from tournaments to demonstrations. If you're like me and are interested in new things I’d recommend going to this event.
June 16
The Killers
At the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino from 9 p.m. - 11 p.m.
Ok there is a lot going on this day, BUT if you're a fan of the Killers (like myself) I highly recommend going to their concert! It’s getting really close to the concert date so I’m sure prices have gone up, but It's worth checking out if you’re a fan!
June 17-18
The Great Eldorado BBQ, Brews, and Blues festival
At the Eldorado Resort Casino from 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Live entertainment, food, and beer? This sounds like a great way to spend a summer day! Check out their Facebook page for details on their events throughout the day!
I hope this list helps you find cool things to do in Reno. Most of the time, there are so many events going on and I don't find out about them until after. So if you're planning on pausing your Netflix movie, and getting out of the house you have a list of ideas to refer to! Have a great summer everyone!
