RENO, Nev. – Grand Sierra Resort (GSR) will host Street Heat, a four-day classic car and concert festival Wednesday, Aug. 5 through Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026. Scheduled during a week when classic car fans already plan trips to Reno, the event offers an additional on-property option with classic car exhibitions, free nightly outdoor concerts, a vendor marketplace, food and beverage experiences and special hotel offers.

Inspired by previous classic car events held at GSR, Street Heat will feature a multi-format car show showcasing vintage automobiles from the 1950s through the 1980s. Highlights include classic car registration and exhibitions, a cruise-style parade, awards presentations and GSR’s signature Cherry Show & Shine, allowing enthusiasts and spectators alike to admire beautifully restored vehicles throughout the resort. Details on vehicle registration and participation can be found at StreetHeatReno.com.
In addition to the automotive experiences, guests can enjoy free nightly outdoor concerts featuring classic rock and R&B acts, creating a lively soundtrack for summer evenings.
