2017 Hot August Nights rolls into Reno and Sparks

Rev up the hotrods and make way for the Elvis impersonators – Hot August Nights is about to hit the streets of Reno and Sparks. The 2017 edition fires up on Tuesday, August 8, and goes through Sunday, August 13.

The fun begins in Virginia City, roaring through the Comstock on Friday and Saturday, August 4 and 5. The official pre-kickoff party is on Sunday, August 6 at the Bonanza Casino in Reno.

Most Hot August Nights activities are free and open to the public, but if you’ve got some spare cash, you can get your own classic car at the Motorsport Auction Group (MAG) car auction at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. If you have a car and need parts and accessories, check out the swap meet or pick up one of many whole cars that will be on sale. For even more goodies, try the Big Boy’s Toy Store in downtown Reno.
