What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

Oh say can you see … the whole town’s pure delight? Pahrump is undeniably one of the most red, white, and blue little towns in the West. This is our weekend, folks!

Celebrate our nation’s Independence Day at the annual Pahrump Fourth of July Family Celebration. The parade begins at 9 a.m. Friday at the Calvada Eye, and loops back to the park. Plan to bring the family and join your Pahrump community for the free festivities at the Calvada Eye park afterward. Enjoy free grilled burgers and hot dogs while munching chips, and participate in fun and games all courtesy of the Pahrump Holiday Task Force and generous sponsors. Don’t miss the watermelon eating contest at 11 a.m., or the water balloon fight (kids only) at 12 p.m.

The Town of Pahrump’s Fourth of July Freedom Festival is scheduled for 9 p.m. Friday night in Petrack Park. Zambelli Fireworks and the O’Brien family light up the night with their signature pyrotechnic display, with music accompaniment on KNYE Radio 95.1 FM. Petrack Park is located at Highway 160 and Basin Avenue. Everyone will be there, trust me. Bring your lawn blanket and your chairs, your snacks and beverages, but don’t bring your dog. The pooches will fare much better at home.

The above is plenty to fill your Freedom Friday, and the festivities continue the day after.

There will be a benefit fundraiser at the VFW Post 10054 at 5 p.m. this Saturday, supporting Pahrump’s own Jace Jepson’s trip to the Cinch Nationals High School Finals Rodeo. Experience a live auction, buy a savory beef brisket dinner, enjoy music, and try your luck with the raffle. Jace has put in the work and sweat and blood, but it costs money for Jace and his family and his horse to travel to the finals. Best of luck, Jace. Go get ‘em!

The Nye County S x S monthly nighttime mystery ride is this Saturday. The destination is a carefully routed surprise. Meet up at 5:30 p.m. at Iceology, located at 1330 S. Hwy. 160, suite 130. The off-road caravan leaves at 7 p.m. “Bring your whips and lights, and let’s light up the night together.” For more information, consult www.nyecountysxs.com

Don’t miss this Saturday’s “Movies in the Park” brought to us by the town of Pahrump and Pahrump Tourism. They saved a good one for this special weekend: the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz.” Ian Deutch Memorial Park is located at 1600 Honeysuckle St.
