About Event

We would like to thank all of our Volunteers, Sponsors, Parade Entrants, Vendors, City and State Personnel, and Everyone that came out to watch, or participate, in last years Nevada Day Parade and Celebration!

Speaking of Volunteers, Nevada Day needs your help! Please consider becoming part of this great Nevada only tradition. We are mainly looking for Parade Marshals, and members of our newly formed Green Team that will assist us in making the Nevada Day Celebration a more sustainable event by reducing, recycling, and reusing. Recycling Stations will be set up in various locations, and will need to be monitored. Just hit the Volunteer Button above, fill out the form, and submit!

Nevadan’s love a parade – and Nevada Day is more than just a parade! It is Nevada’s Heritage Celebration – a gathering of community spirit to salute our state’s past and look ahead to its future.

Nevada Day is a grand celebration commemorating our states admission to statehood on October 31, 1864. Nevadan’s have the distinction of holding the largest statehood celebration in the nation! The highlight is the Nevada Day Parade. Currently we are no longer accepting any NEW applications, but you can still reach out to us, and we can put you on a waiting list in case someone cancels.

This year will be our state’s 155th birthday, and also marks 81 year’s since the Nevada Day Celebration moved to our Capitol, featuring a large parade downtown on main street Carson City.

The 2020 Nevada Day Theme will be Announced in May!
