We canโ€™t find anything on the books that matches your search right now, but letโ€™s try another combo!

Looking to get in on a little Nevada culture? With custom silversmith jewelry and leather tooling beckoning you to events like the Genoa Western Heritage Days and National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, we canโ€™t say we blame you. Get a taste of Nevadaโ€™s western flare hereโ€”in Virginia City for hourly shootouts, saloon crawls and even beard contests, or at Eurekaโ€™s Old Time Fiddlers Contest. Other canโ€™t-miss-it cultural festivals honor another beloved thread of Nevadaโ€™s heritage at Basque Festivals found throughout northern Nevada including Elko, Winnemucca, Reno, and Carson Valley. Get your hands on homemade chorizo, paella, homemade art crafts and live music from Nevada Basques whoโ€™ve been part of the Nevada story for decades. 

Art in the Park

Speaking of outdoor action, bring your bike and head for a handful of mountain bike fairs and festivals in Nevada, like Carson Cityโ€™s Epic Rides, Elkoโ€™s Ruby Roubaix, or Calienteโ€™s Beaver Dam Gravel Grinder. Admiring the brightest stars in the darkest skies in the country is something you can do year-round in Nevada, but the Great Basin Astronomy Festival will send you home with a newfound appreciation of the heavens above.

Electric Daisy Carnival
National Basque Festival

Boulder Cityโ€™s Art in the Park is one of the largest true art and craft shows in the southwest, so be sure and get that one on your radar, along with the Tonopah Arts Festival that happens each summer. If youโ€™ve got the family in tow, be sure to hit a handful of balloon fests throughout Nevada in places like Mesquite, Pahrump, Reno and Elko, and the Spring Wings Bird Festival at the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge in Fallon. For a summer carnival atmosphere paired with action-packed adventure, head for the Reno River Festival and get in on rides, games, and one-of-a-kind thrills along the Truckee River. 

Fears, Tears & Beers Mountain Bike Enduro

Already sold on Las Vegasโ€™ music and entertainment scene? Yeah, we are too. Head for bigtime music festivals at annual events like iHeartRadio, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Life is Beautiful, or head to Lake Tahoe for MTVโ€™s SnowGlobe Music Festival for an unforgettable winter show in the elements. How about a little jazz and bluegrass? Check out Pahrumpโ€™s Wild West Extravaganza & Bluegrass Festival, and Carson Cityโ€™s Jazz & Beyond Music & Art Festivalโ€”among many more festivals the music lover in all of us can get on board with.
