About the Reno Gay Pride Festival

The Reno Gay Pride Festival celebrates diversity and equality with its 16th annual event at downtown Reno's Wingfield Park. While the event's activities emphasize the gay and lesbian community, and some are for adults only, everyone is invited to enjoy the entertainment at Wingfield Park.

Attending the Reno Gay Pride Festival

The 2012 Reno Gay Pride Festival will be on August 18, 2012, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. All day festival and entertainment tickets are $5. If you are coming from out of town, the official host hotel is Harrah's Reno. There are lots more rooms at Reno's hotel casinos and they are within walking distance of Wingfield Park and the various other venues hosting Reno Gay Pride activities. You'll also find information about GLBT-friendly hotels from the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA).
