JACOBS ENTERTAINMENT TO CREATE THE GLOW PLAZA FESTIVAL GROUNDS

Reno, NV – January 30, 2022:  Jacobs Entertainment announced today that it has filed for construction permits with the City of Reno to develop The Glow Plaza Festival Grounds on West 4th Street in the Neon Line District area.  

According to Jonathan Boulware, Regional Vice President of Jacobs Entertainment, “these festival grounds will allow us to expand our vision of The Glow Plaza, creating a very special location for festivals and special events of up to 8,000 visitors.”  Added Mr. Boulware, “The Glow Plaza Festival Grounds will host many free festivals and special events, hosted by Jacobs Entertainment as well as third-party promoters.”  

Jacobs Entertainment will host a Taco Festival, as well as a Burning Man Decompression Festival, and a Future Classics event as part of Hot August Nights. Third-Party promoters will include Street Vibrations, a blues and jazz festival and a rib burn-off, as well as several single day events.  Physical improvements at The Glow Plaza Festival Grounds will include a state-of-the-art stage for free concerts, a food truck alley and a large open-air shade pavilion.

Jacobs Entertainment expects that attendance at The Glow Plaza Festival Grounds will rapidly grow to over 100,000 visitors per year.  Construction is expected to begin this spring and be completed later this summer.  The Glow Plaza Festival Grounds was designed by local Reno architect, Eric Fong of One Studio D+A.  The Glow Plaza, located in the Reno’s Neon Line District area on West 4th Street, will continue to host free live entertainment on weekends this summer.
