Nevada Day is coming. Here’s how to celebrate

Nevada became the 36th state in the United States on October 31, 1864. It’s an accomplishment worthy of celebration, commemorated in cities throughout the Silver State, on the last Friday of October every year. 
Parades. Train Rides. Chilli Cookoffs. Drilling contests. These are just some of the many ways our great state celebrates its big day. From educational events to marching bands, there’s plenty to do and see on Nevada Day and all weekend long.
