In the heart of the Sierra Nevadas, the Snow Dance is a cherished ritual passed down through generations. Under a moonlit sky, villagers gathered, adorned in sparkling scarves and jingling bells, their boots stamping in rhythm to the beat of a drum made from pine and elk hide. They twirl, hop, and toss handfuls of flour into the air, chanting ancient words that sound like the laughter of winter itself. Legend has it that when the dance is performed with enough joy and gusto, the sky answers with fluffy snowflakes, blanketing the mountains in a magical, glittering frost. And so, they dance, not just for snow, but for the spirit of togetherness it brings. Whether you’re dancing for the togetherness or the snowfall, let’s get it on!!

Virginia City’s unhinged porta-potty pageant is back, and it’s more flushed with excitement than ever! Yes, it’s time for the 35th annual World Championship Outhouse Races, where toilet titans clash in a spectacle that will keep you completely entertained. Free to attend and cheer the contestants on, this rollin’ bowl showdown leads you to C Street, where brave, costumed racers haul their finely decorated thrones and push them all the way to the TP finish line. Virginia City’s outhouse race is the only one in the U.S. claiming it all started with a political protest. Back when bureaucrats banned outdoor toilets, the people responded in the only reasonable way… dragging their outhouses right up to town hall. And now, we celebrate the legacy left behind as we cheer on teams plunging their way to the latrine title while we sip our favorite beverage with a front-row view.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 – SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2024
VIRGINIA CITY FAIRGROUNDS – 458 F St Virginia City, NV 89440

Virginia City...  an eclectic mix of Wild West, Mark Twain Adventures, and the distant echo of prosperity from the silver in the hills. Naturally, such a unique place hosts an annual event that is equally as random!  Yes…  Over the last 65 years, this little historic town has celebrated and embraced the International Camel and Ostrich Races.  It’s like the true American antithesis of a British horse race. However, with these races, no known betting system exists.  A “sure bet,” however, is the entertainment value and laughter as you witness the unpredictable nature of the competition!  Make a day out of it, complete with a cool drink in one of Virginia City’s old saloons, a trip to the retro candy store, and a ghost tour at a haunted hotel!  For more information about ticketing and food & beverage, go to VisitVirginiaCityNV.com.
