It’s the first full week of fall in Northern Nevada, and that means a full week of traditions, both old and new. At more than a century old, the Genoa Candy Dance is one of the region’s oldest continuously celebrated events, and Street Vibrations fall rally will bring an estimated 35,000 motorcycle lovers into the area. But there’s also the relatively new (and still anticipated) Cordillera International Film Festival and Dragon Lights Reno set to begin this week as well.
But despite last week’s fall-like rain and chill, this week will be a return to sunshine and 80-degree temperatures in the valleys.
Here’s a look at what else is happening for the week of Sept. 23-29, 2024.
