Levitt AMP organizers hopeful for improved air quality ahead of tonight's concert in Carson City

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 Nevada Day Powwow will return Friday through Sunday, Oct. 27-29, at the Robert Crowell Multi-Purpose Athletic Center, 1860 Russell Way in Carson City.

Dating back to the 1960s, the first gathering occurred on the Carson Colony grounds. As the years passed, the gathering had its bad and good years.

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

Get your FREE Raffle Ticket from the Michael Hohl RV folks in the parade and bring it to the RV Center to win prizes, enjoy sweet treats and have a blast in our photo booth! Free Family Event - Saturday October 28 from Noon to 4pm.

When Diego Fuentez first moved to Reno to attend the University of Nevada in 2017, he had never really heard of the Nevada Day Parade.

He had been living in Vegas prior to his move to the north, and was impressed by the university’s diverse opportunities in music.

He joined the marching band, and experienced the Nevada Day Parade firsthand without realizing the scope of the day.

“I thought, wow, this is extremely cool,” Fuentez said. “I was able to do it once, but it made a lasting impression.”

Happy Friday, Carson City, and say hello to our newest Pet of the Week, Shrek!

Ever dreamt of having your very own friendly ogre? Shrek's no swamp-dwelling fairy tale character, but he sure is a lovable, big-hearted dog searching for his forever home!

This larger-than-life guy has a personality as big as his namesake, with a penchant for bones and a love for car rides. At first, our gentle giant can be a tad wary of strangers - perhaps he's just waiting for his own fairy tale adventure to begin.

The Carson Mall in downtown Carson City has fun for all ages planned this Nevada Day. Anchoring the end of the parade, the Carson Mall will be a hub of festivities including the annual hot air balloon launch, the 50th Annual World Championship Single Jack Rock Drilling Contest, cornhole tournaments, live music and the annual Trading Post and Artisan’s Market.

Hello Carson City! Let's take a look to see what the weekend has in store for us.
