What Events Are Planned in Pahrump This Week

Memorial Day Weekend: Don’t forget your solemn duty as an American citizen. This national holiday is set aside in remembrance of those military veterans who have died in service to our country. Monday morning, you can attend a public ceremony at VFW Post #10054 at 11 a.m., followed by a U.S. flag retirement, weather permitting. Home of the free, because of the brave.

Make your kickoff to Summer 2026 one to remember. Jump into the Pahrump Community Pool, launch the best pyrotechnic toy you can legally purchase, immerse yourself in a dark retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the Calvada Theater, attend a good old-fashioned hog roast at VFW Post #10054, and plan to attend the Silver Tappers’ USO Tour “Tribute to the Big Apple” performance over at Saddle West. Are you hankering for more Western fun? The 55th Annual Jim Butler Days are happening all weekend in Tonopah. Tonopah’s central location in the state makes it “equally inconvenient for everyone, so come on over and stay for a few days,” says Assistant County Manager Joni Eastley.

Grab your noodles, nose plugs, water wings, snorkels, and goggles! The Pahrump Community Pool “soft opening” happens this Saturday and Sunday, the 23rd and 24th, with open swim from noon to 6 p.m. Consult pahrumpnv.gov/178/Community-Swimming-Pool for updates and specific information. Daily pool hours begin Monday, May 25, for adult swimmers from 7 to 11 a.m., followed by open swim from noon to 6 p.m. The pool is located at 150 N. Hwy. 160. The Pahrump Community Swimming Pool can also be reserved for your special event. Reservations are available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, after regular pool hours. Contact Courtney Kenney at 775-727-2825 or email cdkenney@pahrumpnv.gov.

Gear up for the Memorial Weekend blast — stockpile your fireworks now and get ready to light up the skies Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the Pahrump Fireworks Safety Site from 7 to 11 p.m., weather permitting. Get passes and details at any Nye County fireworks company.
