Hours on Saturday are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This is a fun, family-friendly festival, with street performers, free music from two stages, and plenty of good food and drink. No ticket or entry fee needed. People really enjoy the Great Italian Festival, presented by THE ROW.

Activities at the Great Italian Festival

The main event is enjoying a variety of delicious and excellent Italian food and drink, but there is much more to enjoy (and participate in if you are so inclined) at the Great Italian Festival.

Location of the Great Italian Festival

The event is along Virginia Street in downtown Reno, in front of THE ROW (Eldorado and Silver Legacy). The area is closed to vehicle traffic during the event. There is lots of downtown Reno parking (both free and paid) for festival goers. You can also get there on the bus and save the parking hassle. The RTC 4th Street Station is only a couple of blocks from the action at the Eldorado Great Italian Festival.
