Welcome to Dayton Valley Days 2026

Historic Downtown Dayton, Nevada, September 19-20, 2026

Honoring Our Heritage, Celebrating Our Future

Get ready for an unforgettable weekend in the heart of Nevada’s oldest settlement as Dayton Valley Days 2026 returns. This year’s celebration honors the 250th anniversary of America with the theme “A Celebration of Community, Heritage & What’s Next.”

After welcoming more than 10,000 attendees last year, the largest turnout in our history, we’re bringing the community together once again for two days filled with local traditions, great food, entertainment, and small-town pride.

Rooted in Dayton’s rich history and fueled by the spirit of our community, Dayton Valley Days is a chance to celebrate where we’ve been and the future we’re building together.

Mark your calendars and come experience one of Northern Nevada’s favorite community celebrations.
