Carson Valley Days
Get in on some good ol’ fashioned summertime fun one corndog, Ferris wheel ride, and horseshoe toss at a time. Part of the Carson Valley events scene for more than 110 years, thousands of locals and visitors alike come to Gardnerville, NV each summer for four days of carnival rides, midway games, a parade, all kinds of crafts from local makers, and lots of food and drinks from local favorites.
Celebrated every summer since 1910, Carson Valley Days features everything from tournaments and live music to a carnival and parade.
Carson Valley Days’ famous parade starts in downtown Minden and brings all kinds of floats and fanfare into Gardnerville. Friendly competition is the name of the game for various tournaments, including horseshoes, corn hole, and basketball. Children’s games, face painting, and tons of carnival fun will make memories for the entire family.
Lampe Park will host concerts on Friday and Saturday night, as well as Sunday’s raffle drawing. Don’t miss out on the craft fair and tasty eats either. And while you’re in the area, make time to check out nearby attractions like the Carson Valley Arts & Antiques Trail, some of the most legendary Basque restaurants in the West, and the Minden Historic District.
