As the sun takes its paintbrush to the Reno sky, turning it into a canvas of orange and pink, thousands will flock to Rancho San Rafael Regional Park on the mornings of September 8, 9, and 10, 2023. Why? Well, it’s none other than the 42nd annual Great Reno Balloon Race, a spectacle that’s internationally recognized, and it’s got more color, wonder, and delicious delights than ever before!
