Get ready to celebrate the rich history and lively spirit of Nevada’s oldest settlement at Dayton Valley Days, a beloved two-day festival set in the heart of Old Town Dayton. This long-running tradition brings locals and visitors together for a weekend full of small-town charm, community pride, and old-fashioned fun.
From classic cars to costumed pets, Dayton Valley Days is small-town Nevada at its most spirited.
Whether you’re here for the cars, the crafts, or the community vibes, Dayton Valley Days offers a unique blend of nostalgia and celebration that makes it a must-visit on Nevada’s fall event calendar. Historic Main and Pike Streets transform into a bustling festival corridor with more than 150 vendors offering handmade goods, tasty eats, and one-of-a-kind finds.
Car lovers will want to arrive early on Saturday to catch the classic car show, where polished cruisers line the street thanks to the Silver N Gold Cruisers Car Club. Sunday morning adds a dash of cuteness to the mix with the ever-popular Pet Parade, where you can cheer on the town’s best-dressed pups, cats, and other furry friends as they strut through downtown. Both days are packed with live music, family-friendly activities, and community showcases, including a dedicated Kids Zone to keep the little ones entertained.
Vendor, sponsor, and car show registration is open through the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce. Admission is free, and parking is available near downtown. Just follow the signs once you arrive.
