The world-renowned Hot August Nights, a grand celebration of classic cars and rock-and-roll nostalgia, is preparing for its annual volunteer recruitment fair. Scheduled for February 6 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada, this event aims to attract individuals passionate about vintage automobiles and community engagement. The festival, which spans ten days in August 2025, expects over 500,000 visitors and 6,000 registered vehicles. To ensure the smooth operation of this massive event, organizers are looking to expand their team of dedicated volunteers.

Hot August Nights has become synonymous with automotive enthusiasm and cultural revival. The event's success hinges on the commitment of its volunteers who contribute year-round and especially during the festivities. Deny Dotson, the executive director, emphasized the critical role volunteers play in crafting memorable experiences for attendees. From organizing car shows to managing nightly cruises and foundation events, these unsung heroes make every moment magical. With an anticipated increase in attendance next year, the need for additional hands-on support has never been greater.

To facilitate this expansion, the recruitment fair will showcase representatives from all 13 committees involved in organizing various aspects of the event. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore different roles, understand the benefits, and sign up for positions that align with their interests. Whether it's overseeing car events, handling check-ins, coordinating drag races, or arranging entertainment, there is a place for everyone within the vibrant community of Hot August Nights.

Becoming a volunteer member comes with its own set of rewards. For a modest fee of $40, participants gain access to exclusive perks such as invitations to member parties, branded apparel, and unique souvenirs. Moreover, they receive credentials and a volunteer pin, symbolizing their contribution to this iconic event. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and commit to working a minimum of 16 hours during the event period.

The upcoming edition of Hot August Nights promises to be even more spectacular, taking place across 12 venues throughout Reno-Sparks from August 1 to August 10, 2025.
