Inaugural Music, Murals, & Margaritas Festival begins Thursday

The City of Fernley in partnership with Sierra Arts Foundation presents the inaugural Music, Murals, & Margaritas Festival this Thursday through Saturday at the Fernley Depot and throughout the City of Fernley.

The three-day festival features local, national and international mural artists, musicians and margaritas.

Decorated murals have been painted on about 20 public accessed walls throughout the City of Fernley and the Fernley Depot.

Fernley will become the third City on I-80 to have a Mural Festival in the last five years. Soon, tens of thousands of travelers will have an outdoor art gallery to stop at and enjoy. Reno’s more than 200 murals have brought out pride and a sense of achievement in their city. Both Reno and Elko have seen increased tourist activity and local business engagement due to the Mural Festivals. This is a jumpstart leading to significant change, by devising and carrying out creative neighborhood-building programs.
