Welcome To Carson City, NV

Explore the History of Carson City, NV and Stay for the Fun

The Nevada capital city was named for mountaineer Kit Carson and lies along the southwestern region of the state. The location began as the Eagle Station trading post and stopover in 1851. Once the Comstock Lode was discovered eight years later, the population of the new community grew. Mining booms and the end of WWII spawned further population growth. The Foreman-Roberts House Museum, the Nevada State Museum and the Nevada State Railroad Museum are frequented attractions.

Things To Do

For three days in June, Carson City hosts the Off-Road cycling event. Willing participants journey along predetermined 15, 35 and 50 miles courses while enjoying the views of the backcountry, which include Lake Tahoe and the Washoe Valley. In the downtown area, guests enjoy three days of live concerts, expos and refreshments.

For four days in July, thousands enjoy visiting the Carson City Fair. FFA and 4-H youth exhibit their livestock. There are also numerous agricultural exhibits, which include vintage equipment. Vendors offer all types of popular fair foods. Guests also enjoy a traditional rodeo and a tractor pulling competition. Bands provide nightly entertainment.

For more than two weeks in August, Carson City hosts the annual Jazz and Beyond Music Festival. More than 100 local, regional and celebrity artists take part in the event and perform in more than 45 concerts. Various indoor and outdoor locations provide the backdrop for the concerts.

Toward the end of October, Carson City commemorates local heritage during Nevada Day. The festivities begin with a military aircraft flyover and the gala parade begins, which features nearly 200 floats. Events also include a traditional run/walk, a jack drilling contest, a beard contest and a chili feed. The Governor's Mansion also hosts tours.

In celebration of the popular holiday-themed movie, thousands board the Polar Express train to the North Pole. Along the way, the conductor punches tickets and chefs serve hot chocolate as all listen to a reading of the children's book. Upon arrival, Santa boards the train and gifts youngsters with a silver bell. The event spans four days in November."
