Reno is Artown
For the entire month of July, Reno isn’t just an art town—it becomes Artown. Widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive arts festivals in the entire country by the National Endowment for the Arts, Artown continues to dazzle the community with a month-long celebration of arts and culture that offers nearly 500 events, more than 100 workshops, and over 30 performances. For an entire month, this dynamic Reno art event takes over all areas of “The Biggest Little City in the World,” including the Downtown Reno Riverwalk, the eclectic MidTown district, and beyond.
Into art? How about music, dance, and theater? Reno sure is—which is why everyone’s invited to hundreds of free Artown events happening every single day of July.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2025, Artown captures the span of the human imagination and the spirit of creativity through distinguished local, national, and global artists. Whether it’s enjoying live music along the Truckee River, immersing yourself in art experiences, catching diverse stage performances, or getting hands-on in endless workshops, there’s no shortage of activities to keep you entertained.
The calendar of events, from Artown’s opening nights through closing festivities, is curated across twelve categories, including: Music, Dance, Cultural, Theater, History, Visual, Kids, Film, Literary, Special, Workshops, and Ongoing. Experience fun for the whole family and celebrate all that the arts have to offer in the Reno area by viewing a full list of Artown events held throughout the entire month of July.
