About the Event
Glitter Bomb invites you to step into a time machine and land smack in the middle of the glitter-soaked, polyester-packed disco era from 7 to 10 pm, Friday May 8 at Reno Public Market.

Glitter Bomb is a high-voltage 70s disco tribute band lighting up every dance floor with funky grooves, outrageous costumes, and unforgettable performances. It's a full-blown boogie wonderland where the beats are hot, the moves are smooth, and the dance floor never stops.

From “Le Freak” to “Boogie Nights”, we bring the sparkle, the soul, and the Saturday night fever — every night! Pull yourself together, put on somethin’ shiny, and walk into the 70s party of the century like you own the joint.

The Shakespeare Animal Fund plans to hold an event called Sharing Happy Tails that includes photos and stories of animals they have helped. The free event will will also include music with Kasey Christensen and Liam Kyle Cahill, great raffle items plus free giveaways!
Shakespeare Animal Fund stops the suffering of animals by helping pet owners with emergency veterinary bills due to accidents, sickness and other emergencies, in 13 northern Nevada counties.
Often those who need our help are elderly, disabled, returning veterans or simply those who find themselves in an emergency situation without the funds to get the help their pets desperately need. For many people their pets are their only family, and a constant source of unconditional love.

Nevada Humanities is proud to be a part of “60 Years of Stories”—Downtown Reno Library’s after-hours event celebrating the library’s 60th anniversary on Saturday, May 9.

At 6:30 pm, Nevada Humanities will present a screening of A Black Springs Homecoming: Finding History—produced by Nevada Humanities and directed by Tsanavi Spoonhunter. The film tells the story of Black Springs—a small, historically African American neighborhood six miles north of downtown Reno, Nevada—and the ability of its residents to establish an enduring sense of community in the face of widespread racial discrimination and economic hardship.

The 27-minute film will be followed by a conversation and Q&A with historians Alicia Barber, Demetrice Dalton, and Helen Townsell. This event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:00 pm.

Visit the Washoe County Library System’s calendar for more information about this special event.
