Jacobs announces expanded event space in Reno
Jacobs Entertainment, the Colorado company that has purchased several blocks in downtown Reno for development, announced on Feb. 1 that it had filed permits to expand the Glow Plaza on Fourth Street into a larger venue, to be called the Glow Plaza Festival Grounds. The venue is expected to include a state-of-the-art stage for free concerts, a food truck alley, and a large open-air shade pavilion. Completion is expected this summer. Organizers plan to host a Burning Man related event and a Blues and Jazz festival, among other events.
Space Whale sculpture to undergo repairs
The Reno News & Review reported last week that the Space Whale sculpture in Reno’s City Plaza, will have much of its stained glass replaced with more durable, harder-to-vandalize Lexan.
“The stained glass and steel sculpture of a humpback whale and her baby, born at Burning Man in 2016, has had about a quarter of its 1,800 glass panels broken since it was installed on city property in 2017,” the RN&R reported. More here.
