Classic Celebration

This weekend begins the 40th anniversary of “Hot August Nights.”

What began as a 3-day event in Reno back in 1986, now includes Reno, Sparks, and Virginia City. It has expanded to 10-days of cruises, drag races, music, vendors, and a car auction. With more than 6000 vehicles, and 500,000 visitors, it is the largest, nostalgic car show in the country.

To all those that polish, shine, take care of, and tune up their vintage vehicles, thank you for your efforts. You make this event a classic worth celebrating!
