When sitting in The Riverwalk District in downtown Reno you know you have entered a place of unique splendor, but what you may not know is this area was created that way with help from the independent business owners who have worked together to create a vibrant place for tourists and locals, to enjoy with little to no assistance from outside sources. Recently recognized by Travel & Leisure as one of America’s Coolest Riverwalks, and featured in Sunset Magazine, Alaskan Airlines and New York Travel Magazine. The Riverwalk is home to Reno’s oldest and most iconic churches, monuments and buildings, including VSA arts at the Lake Mansion, the National Automobile Museum, recognized as America’s top 5 museums, The Riverside, and Sierra Arts. Employees, owners and volunteers are banded together into what is recognized as the Riverwalk Merchants Association, (RWMA). The members of RWMA have worked together since the late 1990’s to develop Reno’s Riverwalk District as a focus point for the city.
