Celebrate America's Love Affair with Cars and Rock N' Roll.

In August, the streets of Reno-Sparks light up with the sounds of classics and rays of sunshine glinting off polished chrome. Thousands of spectators descend on the region to catch a glimpse into the past. Spectators come to catch the Show-n-Shines with our 6,000 registered participants taking place at 12 venues and watch the cruises that light up the night. This nostalgic event brings it all.
