I find that the description of this festival did not quite meet what was promised. I didn't hear…read moreany music and I didn't see much of a Christmas Village. There were some Vendors and Food Trucks, but was hoping to see alot more. To be fair, every festival has to start somewhere and I really think it has alot of potentially to grow and become an amazing yearly event for our community. The event runs back to back weekends, November 28-29 and December 5-6, 2025, with Tree Lightings on both Fridays. I personally think it would be more special with only one tree lighting. There are still more days to check it out. A great event for the whole family!!

This was my first time at the Reno River Festival and I had a good time. The vendors were nice,…read morefriendly, and genuinely passionate about their craft which was very refreshing. The live performances were fun, and I can definitely see this becoming a staple for Reno Events. I didn't expect to pay $20 for entrance which was a bummer as we were going to bring more family and friends but the entry cost was a little too high for bringing kids. There were a nice set of carnival rides, but I was discouraged on buying tickets as we had already $40 to get into the event and wanted to save some of our budget to buy things from vendors. We went on the last day of the event, in the early afternoon and it was nice to see more locals enjoying themselves and it wasn't too crowded which was a plus in our book! My fiancé and I loved that dogs are welcome to join us as some other outdoor events do not allow us to bring our puppy. Overall, the variety of food, atmosphere, and performances were awesome! I only wish the entry price was reduced as I would've brought more people and would've had more money to spend on the vendors. Final verdict... I would definitely come back, but only if the entry prices come down or are removed. If this is your first time attending the event, the $20 is not so bad to see the art installations and see the live performances. I would recommend this for first timers.

I hadn't been to the Reno River Festival in along time. I remember when it was free to go and it…read morewas in Winfield park. I have to say it sure has grown into a top notch event! I really love the new location at Idlewild park! There were many Vendors, Food and Drink Choices. One of my favorites is Mr Margarita. I love to mix the two choices together $9. I was starved and I had a $5 hot dog that hit the spot. Then my husband tried a hand dipped foot long corn dog which I had a bite of and it was tasty. What's not to love at the festival, I think any choice is a win! The musical was good, I found it interesting you can now purchase VIP tables each day. What a nice added touch to the event. There are many add ons you can purchase as well. Something for everyone, craft beer tasting, rafting, golf, rock climbing or just sit back and listen to the entertainment while taking in the beauty of your surroundings. If you haven't gone to the festival I definitely suggested going, you can take blankets, low back chairs, but no pets or outside food or drink. General admission is a weekend pass only $15 no exceptions.

The crowd was engaged the whole time and Phil did a great job of keeping the kids focused on his act. He had funny jokes, great use of props and he used the audience multiple times throughout the show to do a trick. He actually called me up on stage to help with a part and it was great. He gave me one tip, "follow my lead" and I did. We did this funny act where we performed a skit in normal speed and then did it in super slow mo, the crowd was roaring in laughter and applause. Phil is a true showman and gentlemen and if you're looking for entertainment at any gathering or party you are hosting give him a shout, you won't be disappointed!!

Well, that was interesting. This year's Steampunk Ball took place over an entire weekend, but my…read morefriends and I just did the pre-ball soiree ($20) and the ball itself ($50) on Saturday. Great people-watching for sure and I enjoyed seeing the amazing costumes people put together. Everyone dressed very differently - a little bit of steampunk, Victorian, Gothic, Dr. Who, Burning Man and a handful of pirates - what a visual feast for the eyes. Most of the events switched back and forth from Piper's Opera House to the Silver Queen hotel and bar. The soiree was entertaining, though not very many people came. Great to see ladies of all ages and sizes and body types put on their best zumba-like and belly-dancish moves to keep the crowd entertained. The emcee was a hoot with her dry sense of humor. There was an hour's break until the ball started so we had to leave; people wandered back to the Silver Queen or a local bar. The ball itself started with a kind of contra-dancing (WTF? Apparently this was supposed to help people get to know each other,but I think it lasted about an hour TOO long - my personal opinion) that lasted close to two hours. Again, great people watching. The main band didn't start until after 10ish. Not exactly my kind of music - I can't even describe it! - but people seemed to enjoy dancing to it. The ticket included light snacks (lemonade, ice tea, water + cheese and a selection of tiny cookies) and a photo booth opportunity (but you have to pay to get a print of the photo). A great entertaining event for all ages.

I really enjoyed just walking from room to room hearing the floorboards creak and imagining what it must have sounded like when it was full of students and teachers. The staff member on site was very friendly and she gave us a bit of information about the school. There is a small store with trinkets and merchandise.
