The Glow Plaza Concerts

This place is amazing, it's exactly what we needed on this side of town. Live music, food and drinks... And dancing... Great time!

What a fantastic venue! It's new so everything is clean. I hope they keep up on that! Lawn chairs are allowed. The drinks were reasonably priced. There were food and merch vendors. Security was not overbearing or underrepresented. All in all, I look forward to another show at the Glow Plaza.

It's a brand new concert venue for Northern Nevada. It was clean. There were a couple of food trucks at our concert. A few other clothing vendors as well, and a few drink vendors. People could bring folding chairs and sit in the imitation grass area. Others could stand by the stage and watch the concert. With the shade above the stage and over the front part of the venue, it was pretty nice. Also, parking was nearby in the J Resort parking lots.

I had the pleasure and honor of seeing the Parliament Funkadelic featuring George Clinton at the Glow Plaza. It was really fun, lots of space to dance, and the sound was fantastic. There's a 3 beverage shacks and a few food trucks. The beverage shack service was pretty quick given there were lines. There are plenty of porta potties located in the back of this outdoor venue with hand washing stations. For smokers, there's a designated smoking area.

We went to Reno Night Market last night, and I'm glad that I didn't have high expectations because they were met last night. So the good: there were artists there, not very many, but a few. A couple of artists were painting right there in the plaza, and it was great watching them make their art and talking to them. The fire dancers were really fun to watch. There were things for kids to do, like paint and play with making huge bubbles. The food trucks were separated from the beverages. This was a great idea as congestion would have been much worse had they all been in the same spot. The not so good: the setup was horrible. Events 101 here, don't put the food right inside the entrance. The second we walked in, we had to cut through food lines. The vendors could have been spread out a little bit more. It was claustrophobic in there for a while. I would have loved to have had a conversation about maybe buying some of the art, but it was pointless to talk because the music was so freaking loud. I'm not sure why the dj was set-up in the center of the place when it should have been the performers. It would have given the performers a bit more room to do their art, and more people would have been able to see them. The dj doesn't need that sort of spotlight, and he was in some sort of gazebo anyway. Overall it was neat to go, but more understanding needs to be put into how party congestion works, how much room performers need, and that music doesn't have tobe deafening to be enjoyable.
