The Helix S322 and Windspire Energy turbines are now up on the Downtown Parking Gallery. They look great. The Windspire was painted by local artists and will be unveiled on July 8th at 4:00pm at an event in the West St. Market.

The Artown live painting event will be held on July 8 at the West Street Market.

The City of Reno welcomes the United States Air Force Travis Brass back to town this weekend. The Travis Brass will perform on Sunday, May 16th at the Wingfield Park Amphitheater. This free concert begins at 3 p.m. The public is invited to attend.
When the Travis Brass previously performed at the McKinley Arts & Culture Center, the audience was treated to hours of beautiful, patriotic music. This year’s performance promises to delight again; the venue is wonderful and the weather forecast looks perfect for an outdoor concert.
