Kiwanis Bikes is a service committee of the Kiwanis Club of Downtown Sparks. Volunteers at the non-profit Kiwanis Bike Program teach bike safety and repair, and donate the majority of bikes they refurbish to youth organizations and schools in Northern Nevada.
The goal of the Reno River Festival is to give back while giving our community a safe and clean family-friendly environment to enjoy the kick-off to summer in Northern Nevada. We hope to see you in Idlewild Park!
