What Events Are Planned This Week in Pahrump

I think we can all agree – the lifeguards, coaches, and pool staff at the Pahrump Community Pool are the best. The last day the pool is open for the 2026 season is this Sunday, from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. Thank you, town of Pahrump, and community sponsors. You all rock!

Care to rock out? Sign up for the Karaoke contest at the Wild Side Tavern on Friday at 7 p.m. and begin singing in the qualifying rounds at 8 p.m. that night. The finals will proceed on Saturday from 8 p.m. to midnight, when first-, second-, and third-place winners (by audience applause) will receive $100, $75, and $25 respectively. Free to attend; fee for participation.

Members of Pahrump 55 + and Older invite you to their monthly Meet and Greet and Eat event. This month, the venue is the 5 10 15 Restaurant at 100 Stagecoach Road, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Saturday. The menu lists a wide variety of food all within a $5, $10, $15 price range. Order something which rocks you.

Why all the rock references? Glad you asked. You never know where or when you’ll find a cheerfully painted “Kindness Rock” along your life’s journey. When I found my first one, I didn’t even know why it was there. Delighted, I took a photo and left it in place. There is a Kindness Rock painting party at Moose Lodge #808 on Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. The session is free of charge, and open to the public. It’s fun for all ages. Help spread kindness in Pahrump one rock at a time. Paint the supplied rocks with uplifting messages, colorful designs, and positive vibes, then display them around town for others to find and brighten their day. All supplies are provided, but you are welcome to bring specific rocks if you wish. RSVP via email at HOTCPahrumpMoose@gmail.com.

So, rock the pool for a final time, rock the karaoke contest, paint a kindness rock, then coordinate your rockin’ week’s plans with new friends at the Meet and Greet and Eat event.

Rock on, Pahrump!
