The City of Fallon is known across the state as the “Oasis of Nevada,” and that place in our Northern Nevada culture has been cemented by the reputation of Fallon as an “Oasis” of small-town Christmas spirit.
In keeping with that spirit and its reputation as THE place for Holiday Magic, the City of Fallon kicked off the holiday season last Saturday with the opening of the Fallon on Ice Skating Rink. As the official launch of the Christmas Season, the city opened the ice rink in anticipation of holiday festivities for the 2025 season. The city will be hosting its ice rink, Fallon on Ice, for a second year, as well as its annual holiday open house and tree lighting ceremony.
November 16 marked opening day, with the rink south of the Douglass House at 10 S. Carson Street. To celebrate the opening of the rink’s second year, the community was invited to gather for free and celebrate at 11 a.m. with unique craft booths, local food trucks, and festive activities for the entire family.
“We are incredibly proud to bring the Fallon community together through a shared love of the holiday season,” said Mayor Ken Tedford. “With the ice rink returning for its second year, we hope even more families will come out to create lasting, cherished memories.”

Annual Christmas Open House and Tree Lighting
The City of Fallon is also making plans for the ever-favorite annual Christmas Open House on December 6 at 4:30 p.m. The event, hosted by Mayor Ken Tedford, Councilwoman Kelly Frost, Councilwoman Karla Kent, and Councilman Paul Harmon, will be a lively environment for the community to gather and enjoy refreshments, cookie decorating, and good tidings. The festivities will be located at Fallon City Hall and The Douglass House, followed by Fallon’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony, held at 6:30 p.m. Come to the city’s historic downtown Maine Street to witness the tree lighting at the epicenter of Fallon.
