Nevada Day Parade 2015: One State, Many Cultures celebrated in photos
Only in Nevada does a state throw a party in its capital city and everyone is invited. And so it is with the celebration Saturday of the Silver State's 151st birthday in Carson City.
Nevadans from north, south, east west and central make the annual pilgrimage to the state capital to honor and celebrate statehood which came, Oct. 31, 1864.
The party favors are what Carson City annually brings to the table for the state holiday celebration and it has never been a disappointment. Carson City knows how to throw a party. Nevada Day 2015 launched Saturday morning under sunny skies with plenty of food and beverages served hot, warm, cold and spicy tomato-based with celery stalk. It's the way we do it here, bringing all the cheer and revelry that comes with having pride and ownership in the Battle Born State.

Starting with a fly over by Old WWII Warbirds, the annual Nevada Day Parade got off to a stellar start with its theme: One State, Many Cultures. The parade down Carson Street through downtown Carson City features marching bands, floats, equestrian groups, political candidates, city, state and local law enforcement and fire departments, historical displays, Burning Man art cars, Old West miners and lawmen and plenty of ladies dressed to the nines in vintage Comstock era clothing.
Activities will continue throughout the day Saturday into the evening, and through Sunday. For the official Nevada Day website, go here.
