Weekend Warrior: Mid-May to Mid-June (2021)

The Weekend Warrior is your guide for the best events happening around the Reno/Sparks/Lake Tahoe region! After last month’s emergence from the social draught caused by the pandemic, we are really starting to get into the swing of things. We’re quite a long way from the thriving events calendar Northern Nevada is used to seeing. But I’ll keep you informed around the middle of each month so you can jump right into the action when you’re ready!

Calling all baseball fanatics!  Baseball is back, and our local Reno Aces need your support!  Cheer our team on to a winning season!  The home season has begun with series against Las Vegas, Tacoma and Sacramento over the next month.  Games taking place on Thirsty Thursdays offer $2 Coors Light Drafts and $4 “Aceball Ales” and are presented by Coors Light.  Family Sundays games that begin at 1:05 pm feature $1 hot dogs… nom, nom, nom… Military Monday beckons all Military Members and First Responders to take advantage of BOGO tickets.  And, last but not least, Taco Tuesdays invite us to two street tacos for $6 or two street tacos and a beer for $10, presented by Alice 96.5.  Can’t beat that deal!  For more info about the Reno Aces, the schedule, promotions, COVID guideline and more, please visit MILB.com/Reno.

No doubt, restaurants and taverns around the world have suffered greatly from the pandemic-related shutdowns.  Hungry in Reno’s Restaurant Week is a community event designed to support our local eateries and drink establishments.  Allow your tastebuds to explore the culinary delights offered, and help support worthy charities at the same time. When you order up any of the select menu items, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the three 2021 Hungry Gives Back Charities: Reno Rodeo Foundation, STEP2 and The Eddy House.  Visit HungryInReno.com to discover all the great participants in this year’s event and their special menu offerings.

I am SOOOOOO excited to share the exciting news that Reno Street Food’s “Food Truck Friday” is coming BACK!!  WOOOHOOO!  Yes, I am unabashedly a self-proclaimed “Food Truck Foodie,” so you can see why I’m sitting here salivating as I’m writing this.  The thought of the delectable creations coming out of these gourmet food trucks makes my tummy talk. This hugely popular event usually features live music so you can get your inner groove going out on the grass. Grab your favorite friendly pooch, leash up, and bring him/her along. And don’t forget your best beach chairs and some cozy blankets to make a full night of it!  For more info, visit the Reno Street Food Facebook Page and check out the latest article about the event at Louis-Bubala.Medium.com.

Prepare to be amazed by the mad talents of cirque artists who will take us through a supernatural voyage into the mind of a lost traveler who crash-lands, of all places, inside the theater at the Grand Sierra Resort.  Viva Le Cirque! is a large-scale, spectacular show starring amazing gymnasts, aerialists, contortionists, hand balancers, jugglers, and daredevils.  With evening shows happening Thursdays through Sundays, and matinee shows offered Saturdays and Sundays, we have plenty of opportunities to catch the excitement over the next several weeks. For tickets and more information, visit GrandSierraResort.com.

Are you gonna “Drop It Like It’s Hot” on June 11 when Snoop Dogg comes to town? The legendary rapper brings fan-favorites like “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” and my personal fav, “Gin and Juice” and is joined by gangsta rappers and hip-hop band Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Warren G and Kurupt. Snoop is held in high esteem and affection by hip hop fans worldwide and is one of the most recognizable faces nad voices of the genre, even to those who don’t listen to his music. He has the most GRAMMY™ nominations of any music artists, 17-to-date, without having won one. Snoop Dogg shows few signs of retiring, so don’t write him off just yet. Visit SilverLegacyReno.com to learn more and get tickets now!

The lights, the music, the smell of roasted nuts and caramel corn!  The sites, sounds and smells of the Nevada State Fair draw you in and offer that good old fashioned carnival experience to share with the whole family.  In addition to the traditional, stimulating midway games, rides, food and music, the fair also features the Nevada State Fair Home & Garden Show, your one-stop-shopping and information-gathering source to spruce up your abode this summer.  Learn more, and purchase discounted unlimited ride tickets in advance at NevadaStateFair.org.
