Get ready to don your red, white, and blue (and maybe a few stripes and wings, too)—the City of Fallon is buzzing with excitement for this year’s Fourth of July celebration!
Set for Friday, July 4, 2025, the festivities include all the fan favorites: the beloved Independence Day Parade, the lively Maine Street Block Party, and a grand finale fireworks show at dusk. This year’s theme, “America the Bee-autiful,” pays tribute to our local beekeepers and the vital role bees play in Nevada’s agriculture and ecosystems.
The Fourth of July Parade kicks off at 10:00 a.m., following its traditional route down Williams Avenue and Maine Street, wrapping up at Oats Park. Community groups, clubs, and local families are encouraged to get creative, decorate your floats, tractors, ATVs, and horses with stars, stripes, and a touch of honeybee magic.
The celebration continues with the Maine Street Block Party from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., stretching between Williams Avenue and Richards Street. Expect food trucks, local vendors, live music, and classic small-town fun including the ever-popular bed races, a pie baking contest, and a window decorating competition that brings out the best in Fallon’s festive spirit. Churchill Arts Council is also hosting Lariat Nights prior to the fireworks with musical guest Ziggy’s Groove from 6 – 9 p.m. along with $5 root beer floats.
As the sun sets, all eyes turn to Rattlesnake Raceway, where a spectacular fireworks show will light up the night sky, Fallon’s grand salute to America’s birthday.
“Fallon’s Fourth of July brings people together in the best way possible with tradition, pride, and community,” said Mayor Ken Tedford. “We hope everyone will come out and celebrate the unique character and spirit of our town.”
