Now, we’re ready to bring back Western Lights even bigger and brighter – but we need your help.
Western Lights Festival
Western Lights is Reno’s first-ever illuminated art festival, designed to light up the Biggest Little City with an extraordinary blend of light, art, and technology. Produced by the renowned Grand Artique and set against the vibrant backdrop of Reno’s historic downtown, this festival transforms familiar streets into an open-air gallery of glowing installations. Each piece celebrates creativity and innovation, inviting attendees to wander through dazzling displays, interactive exhibits, and immersive experiences that pay homage to Reno’s unique culture and artistic roots.
