It's parade day in Carson City, which means a host of Nevada Day activities throughout the state capital all day long.

Meanwhile, the capital city itself is getting warmed up for a three-day weekend and famed parade that celebrates statehood.

The greatest day of the year is close at hand: Nevada Day. The day in which the capitol of Nevada, Carson City, practically shuts down to celebrate our statehood, which took place on October 31, 1864.

While the majority of the United States don’t celebrate their Statehood, those that do participate don’t have quite the same gusto for the celebration that Carson City does.
