What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

The Spooktacular Poker Run festival, and the Grape Stomp 2025 are both happening this weekend. Play your cards right, and you can attend both.

The Spooktacular Poker Run this Friday through Saturday will be an unforgettable weekend of riding, family, and community. This 1st annual event is destined to become yet another fall festival in Pahrump, drawing recognition (and fun!) to Pahrump. Off-road enthusiasts of all kinds from all over Nevada and four surrounding states will be in town participating in a parade of lights Friday evening starting at Ian Deutch Park at 5 p.m., and winding up at the headquarters of events, Petrack Park. This is in preparation for a 75-mile off-road vehicle poker run Saturday. Consult https://www.spookypokerrun.com/ for vehicle registration and event details.

All of us in the Pahrump community are welcome to enjoy Trunk or Treat on Friday in Petrack Park at 6 p.m., alongside the off-road vehicle families. There will be a costume contest for kids aged 0 to 18, with awards in three separate age categories. The Pahrump Holiday Task Force is serving a hearty pancake breakfast for everyone beginning at 6 a.m. on Saturday. Dry camping is available for all of us the entire weekend, and there will be live music, vendors, food trucks, and games both nights beginning at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday feature Spooktacular fun for all families including a hay maze and the famous P.D.O.P. riding bull.
