The event kicks off at The Holland Project with a parking lot party featuring installations, DIY letter station, vintage Reno neon, and food and drink. Peek by the Serva Pool Space to see The Jacket, an exploration of the jacket as a symbol of youth identity and culture though the ages. At dusk, we move. Hop on your bike for a night ride, with secret pit stops along way. The journey ends at the Nevada Museum of Art with a 60s zodiac star party in the Sky Room.
