2026 Sponsor Passes for
Neon Speaks

Illuminate the legacy. Power the glow.

Neon Speaks goes to Reno in 2026! We’ll be there to support and celebrate a soft opening of Will Durham’s Light Circus Nevada Neon Museum in downtown Reno inside the National Bowling Stadium. The museum will be teeming with Will’s brilliant collection of vintage neon signs from all over Nevada. Neon Speaks is more than a festival—it’s a community celebration of art, history, and craftsmanship that lights up the past and sparks inspiration for the future.
