Families can save money on back-to-school basics at Back to School Fair 2026, where free backpacks, school supplies and sports physicals will be available to students who are present. The fair will run Saturday, July 25, from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Pahrump Valley High School, 501 E. Calvada Blvd., and Nye County says all students and families are invited.

The event gives Pahrump parents a single stop for items that can otherwise add up fast before the first day of class. Backpacks and supplies can trim a household budget, while sports physicals can help families clear one more requirement before practices and school activities begin.

Families planning to attend should arrive early. KPVM TV News 25 said families often line up before the doors open, and the same post said students must be present to receive the supplies. That makes the fair more than a drop-in stop: it is a first-come opportunity that favors anyone who gets to the school early enough to wait.

The Back to School Fair is not new to Pahrump. The Nye Communities Coalition lists the event on its annual calendar, and Nye County School District held a Back to School Fair in 2022, under the title Back to School Fair - July 30th. That history has turned the fair into a familiar summer checkpoint for families who want to finish shopping and paperwork in one morning.

Pahrump Valley High School sits at 501 E. Calvada Blvd., while the Nye County School District main office is at 484 S. West Street, both in Pahrump. For families crossing town, the fair offers a practical way to collect supplies, line up a physical and start the school year with fewer out-of-pocket costs.
