Thanksgiving in Reno is more than a holiday — it’s a moment to slow down, gather with loved ones, and reflect on what “home” truly means. Between the mountain views, crisp autumn air, and close-knit neighborhoods, there’s plenty to be grateful for in our Northern Nevada community.

🏔️ A Season of Gratitude in the Biggest Little City
As the Sierra Nevada peaks start to glisten with snow and downtown Reno glows with early holiday lights, Thanksgiving offers a chance to appreciate the simple comforts: a warm home, friendly neighbors, and the beauty that surrounds us. From morning hikes along the Truckee River to family dinners in cozy kitchens, it’s a time to celebrate connection and comfort.
