Reno Street Vibrations

Street Vibrations is billed as Reno's celebration of music, metal, and motorcycles. Street Vibrations 2009 will run from September 23 through 27. Attend Street Vibrations along Virginia Street in downtown Reno and you will see there is plenty of all three. Other event venues on the agenda include the Harley-Davidson dealerships in Reno and Carson City, and historic Virginia City. Thousands of hogs and their riders cruise into Reno for Street Vibrations, filling downtown with rumbling color and a fun street party atmosphere. You do not need to be a Harley rider to have a good time at Street Vibrations.

Street Vibrations Activities

Street Vibrations revolves around the motorcycles (mostly Harleys, but lots of other rides as well) and related interests. Custom bikes can be seen at the Custom Bike Builder's Expo and you can contemplate personal decoration at the Tattoo Expo. If you don't want to go quite that far, check out the vendors with all the cool biker gear and clothing so you can at least look the part. Of course, you need not go hungry or thirsty as plenty of food and drink vendors will be sprinkled among the rows of glittering Harleys. It's free to come downtown, mingle with the crowd, talk motorcycles with riders and vendors, and walk among the rows and rows of powerful bikes.

For the bikers themselves, there will be poker runs around the area, including up to Lake Tahoe. Reno / Tahoe casinos will be looking to separate Street Vibrations attendees from some of their money with slot tournaments and other special action. Food discounts and other goodies are available to registered participants.
