Thank you, Reno!

For the second year in a row, we LIT UP downtown Reno with unforgettable art, music, food, and FUN. Were you there? Did you feel it? Something special happened, and we feel lucky to have been part of it!! 🍀

Tens of thousands of you experienced more than 50 large-scale illuminated artworks, 80 performances across six stages, incredible local food, artisan vendors, and countless magical moments and memories. ✨ It wasn't just a festival, it was community in action.

We are deeply grateful to the artists, builders, musicians, vendors, volunteers, sponsors, and partners who made it all possible.

Here's the thing: Western Lights is free to attend... but it’s not free to produce.

If you believe in accessible art, vibrant public spaces, and bringing our community together, please consider making a donation. Every $1 gets us closer to our $100,000 goal. In return, we've got some special gifts for you including stickers, pins, and special-edition 2026 hoodies (see below).

We are counting on your support to bring Western Lights back in 2027 and beyond!!

In gratitude,

Your Western Lights Team
