The countdown continues, and the day of days — the 85th Nevada Day Parade — will be this very Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023 in Carson City. Take a look at all of the events happening throughout the weekend.

This year, for those who can't make it down to the parade route on Saturday for the Nevada Day Parade, don't fret: you won't miss the action!

A livestream of the parade will be taking place from beginning to end on the Nevada Day Facebook page.

Thirty-five years running. We are excited and thankful, as always, to put on one of our signature races and be part of the Nevada Day weekend. This is a classic road course through the streets of west Carson City. Costumes are HIGHLY encouraged.

This year's theme is Home Means Nevada so be creative and be part of the fun. An annual event since 1989, the Nevada Day Classic is an 8K run and a 2-mile run/walk that kicks off Nevada Day and sends runners/walkers through the beautiful, historic West Side of Carson City and a finish down the main drag with spectators lining the way.

The featured speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon will be J. Kyle Dalpe, Ph.D., president of Western Nevada College. Dr. Dalpe has worked in higher education for more than 27 years supporting student access and success. In March 2023, he was appointed President of Western Nevada College (WNC), a rural community college with campuses in Carson City, Fallon and Minden, after serving more than a year in an interim capacity. He previously served as Provost and Senior Vice President at WNC, overseeing academic affairs, finance and student services.
