Nevada Lithuanian Community

The Nevada Lithuanian Community is a local chapter of the Lithuanian Community in the USA, established on June 6, 2016, in the Reno-Tahoe area.

The goal of the community is to promote Lithuanian customs and language far from our homeland and to introduce a broader audience to Lithuanian culture through organized events and gatherings.
