The City of Fallon has launched a yearlong community initiative celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States and will unveil monthly events throughout 2026 that highlight local history, culture, and community pride.
The initiative, known as Fallon 250, will feature outdoor activities, hands‑on arts events, parades, and family‑friendly festivals designed to bring residents together while reflecting on the nation’s milestone anniversary.
The first major event will be the inaugural Fallon Chalk Festival in May, scheduled for Memorial Day weekend. Later in the summer, the city plans expanded Fourth of July parade festivities and a community fireworks show. Additional programming will include public mural unveilings, art showcases, cultural presentations, and other community‑driven events.
To support planning and coordination, Mayor Ken Tedford has established the America 250 Fallon Commission, bringing together local leaders, artists, historians, and volunteers to help shape the year’s programming.
“From our agricultural roots and military history to Indigenous culture and the spirit of the American West, Fallon has played a meaningful role in the American experience,” Tedford said. “This series ensures our community is actively participating in America 250 while building something lasting for residents and visitors alike.”
