“West Street Sundays” is a brand new feature at the West Street Market. It starts this Sunday, June 13 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will be held on every Sunday through September 26.

What is “West Street Sundays?” It features a Farmer’s Market where you can buy the freshest locally grown produce and much more. You can have brunch, listen to live music, have drinks, snacks and even take in a wonderful array of fresh produce.

The West Street Market is a Reno Redevelopment project that created new opportunities for small local businesses, local farmers and local programs as well as a number of local artisans and performers. The urban market has an eco-friendly theme that serves as a community gathering and the Market is still growing.

The Redevelopment project vastly improved the area restoring two dilapidated, vacant historic buildings transforming the block from an undesirable area into one where families, students, senior citizens and downtown residents can grab a bite, enjoy a cup of coffee glass or glass of wine, or sit outside and listen to live music or watch a performance.

The Market is open seven days a week and is located on West Street between First and Second Streets. For more information about the Market or upcoming events visit  www.RenoWestStreetMarket.com.

***Free validated parking is available at the Parking Gallery on First Street 7 days a week.

The City of Reno Public Works will proudly participate in the 6th annual Building Women Exploration Fair on Friday.

The Building Women Exploration Fair is a unique ‘women only’ event exposing women to non-traditional employment roles in the construction trades plus allows participants to have a “hands on” opportunity at varying trades. Welding, painting, plastering, plumbing, and heavy equipment operation are some of the trades that are highlighted at the fair. Attendees will also be able to learn how to apply and qualify for free building trade apprenticeship programs.

The Building Women Exploration Fair is presented by the Western Apprenticeship Coordinators Association (WACA) in partnership with the Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada, Job Opportunities in Nevada (JOIN), Inc., Truckee Meadows Community College, and Western Nevada Supply.

The City of Reno is dedicated to a diversified workforce representative of the community. For more information about the event visit www.buildingtradejobs.org.
