\n <\/p>\n
The Reno River Festival will begin its 21st year at a new temporary location, Idlewild Park, instead of its usual site at Wingfield Park.<\/p>\n
The change is due to the Arlington Bridges Project, which has closed Wingfield Park while the nearly century-old Arlington Avenue bridges undergo repairs.<\/p>\n
The event will take place from May 30 to June 1 and will include three days of live music, drink experiences, food, shopping, rafting, rides, and several new features introduced for 2025.<\/p>\n
Additions to this year\u2019s event include a rubber duck scavenger hunt, a themed bar tour through the park, the Bark Park, a bucket golf course, and a new VIP experience.<\/p>\n
The VIP Adventure Pass includes access to the MusicFest VIP tent, a food voucher, a pass for the themed bar tour, and admission to the festival for all three days.<\/p>\n
Twenty-four acts are scheduled to perform across two stages.<\/p>\n
Other attractions include a professionally led rafting tour down the Truckee River, more than 100 art and craft vendors, food trucks and specialty food booths, a dog area, yoga in the park, a festival-wide scavenger hunt, and the themed bar tour.<\/p>\n
The Reno River Festival has taken place in Wingfield Park since 2003.<\/p>\n
Organizers said the event will return to its original location after the bridge rehabilitation project is completed.<\/p>\n
The project is also intended to improve community access to the Truckee River and Wingfield Park.<\/p>\n
Three-day tickets are available for $15 and include access to all festival activities.<\/p>\n
Children under 17 and dogs are admitted for free.<\/p>\n
The entry fee provides access to a variety of attractions, including:<\/p>\n
\n
MusicFest<\/li>\n
Reno-Tahoe Adventure Park<\/li>\n
Vendor Village<\/li>\n
Food Fest<\/li>\n
Themed RiverFest Bars<\/li>\n
Bark Park<\/li>\n
Rubber Duck Scavenger Hunt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A portion of the proceeds from all pre-purchased passes benefit Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and the Kiwanis Bike Program.<\/p>\n
All pre-purchased passes are also automatically entered into a drawing to win a Sotar raft valued at $3,400.<\/p>\n
