Nevada City: Local Festivals

Just as there is a "Kansas City" in Missouri, so too is there a "Nevada City" in California. The town is located in the eastern section of the state, high in the mountains and surrounded by coniferous forest that provides tourists staying in holiday rentals in Nevada City with a rich selection of hiking trails that lead to various lakes and summits. About 3,000 people live in Nevada City, a population that has remained relatively stable for about a hundred years.

Events in Nevada City

Since 1960, the town has held a professional bicycle race known as the Nevada City Classic. Most often held on Father's Day weekend, the race annually draws thousands of tourists to the area. Previous winners of the Nevada City Classic have included cycling legend Lance Armstrong.

Another longstanding event is the Constitution Day Parade, which takes place each year on the second Sunday during the month of September, because September 17th, the nation's official Constitution Day, may or may not fall on a weekend. Believed to be one of the largest observances of the event in the western section of the United States, the parade features highlights such as the "Famous Marching Presidents with their First Ladies.

Nevada City also hosts a Sierra Storytelling Festival each July, which takes place in an amphitheater beneath the pine trees. For almost ten years, there has been a Wild and Scenic Film Festival emphasizing outdoor sports and adventure motion pictures.
