Sunday is supposed to be a day for rest, so spend the rest of your weekend making it a fun day.

If the work week flew by for you, then you will want to be sure to catch some of the events occurring in our area before the weekend passes you by. It's already Saturday, Sept. 15, so don't waste any more time.

Hello Carson City and welcome to the end of the work week. Today is Friday, Sept. 14, 2018.

The Winners of the 2018 Taste of Downtown fundraiser for Advocates to End Domestic Violence were announced Monday, with the Hacienda Market and Grill winning best overall.

Organizers of the annual Taste of Downtown in Carson City anticipated another sell-out year in 2018, and if the crowds along North Carson Street Saturday night were any indication, they may be right.

I have long found it impossible to decide which Carson City event is my favorite: forever waffling between Nevada Day and the Taste of Downtown. Seeing as the annual parade is still months away, I’m going to side with ‘The Taste’ purely for its timeliness. With over forty local eateries participating, multiple raffles at downtown shops, and seven bands rocking every corner of the event, it’s practically impossible to have a bad time. This might be the biggest happening in town, but it’s by no means the only good time: read on for all this weekend’s options.

SATURDAY:

This week's edition of It's Your City features all things Taste of Downtown, the 25th annual culinary extravaganza happens this Saturday in Carson City.

The fundraiser for Advocates to End Domestic Violence fills the streets with tasty treats from over 40 local restaurants, several bands, and fun for the entire community; it’s the best party of the summer.
