The Great Reno Balloon Race is back in town! The Rancho San Rafael Regional Park will host the event from September 5-7, featuring a daily Glow Show at 5 a.m.
If you have the opportunity to attend, stop by and say hello to our Deputies, who will be out all weekend long, ensuring the event is safe and enjoyable for everyone in our community!
Here are some tips to consider for this year’s Great Reno Balloon Race:
- Arrive early, as there is limited parking at the event site. Park for free at the University’s north lots. Cars must be removed by 10 a.m. (varies if it is a game day). Parking also will be available at the corner of N. Sierra St. and McCarran Blvd. for a $25 cash donation to the event.
- Please leave pets at home.
- Smoking and vaping are prohibited at the park during the event.
- Drone operation is prohibited on event grounds.
- Plan for the weather; dress in layers as early morning temperatures are chilly despite warm afternoon forecasts.
- Using lasers or flashing lights is prohibited during the event.
- Avoid leaving any valuable items in your vehicle. Instead, consider leaving them at home or taking them with you to help reduce the risk of theft and keep your belongings safe.
Enjoy a safe time exploring all the captivating displays this event offers!
