The 2011 edition of Hot August Nights transitioned from South Lake Tahoe to Reno / Sparks on Monday with the official kick-off party at the Peppermill, but there is so much going on you could have missed it and never even noticed.

A one-time highlight for this 25th anniversary of Hot August Nights will be a fireworks show on Friday, August 12. The pyrotechnics will be fired off from the Silver Legacy towers in downtown Reno, starting at about 9:30 p.m. With all the shiny cars lining Virginia Street, this should be a spectacular show.

There will be numerous street closures and detours associated with Hot August Nights. Driving and parking around any of the big venues can be a real pain. If you can do it, save yourself some hassle and gas money by using one of the transportation alternatives available in the Reno and Sparks areas, such as RTC buses and Sierra Spirit, Reno's free downtown transit system.
