Pahrump Fall Festival opens parade applications, tickets on sale for 2026 event
Parade applications are open and tickets are on sale as Pahrump’s 2026 Fall Festival takes shape around an America 250 theme, signaling early vendor and visitor demand.
Parade applications are now open for Pahrump’s 2026 Fall Festival, and tickets for the carnival and rodeo are already on sale, a sign that the town’s biggest fall gathering is moving well beyond planning and into spending decisions for local businesses.
The festival is built around the America 250 theme, with the Town of Pahrump listing it as “Stars, Stripes & 250 Years Strong.” That gives schools, veterans groups, nonprofits and local businesses a patriotic frame for floats, walking units, performance groups and civic displays, while also giving hotels, restaurants and retailers an early read on visitor traffic heading into late September.
The town lists festival hours for Thursday, Sept. 24, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday, Sept. 25, from noon to midnight; Saturday, Sept. 26, from noon to midnight; and Sunday, Sept. 27, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The carnival is scheduled for Sept. 24 through Sept. 27, and Visit Pahrump describes the four-day event as one that will include carnival rides, rodeo action, live entertainment, food and local talent.
Rodeo vendor applications are being accepted for Sept. 25 and 26 at McCullogh Arena at Petrack Park, adding another layer of participation for businesses and arena vendors looking to capture festival crowds. The town says Fall Fest tickets are on sale in advance at the Pahrump Tourism Office, 400 Highway 160, Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon, as well as at Shadow Mountain Feed and Tack, 2031 W. Bell Vista Ave.
The town lists the festival contact number as 775-727-2825 and says questions can go to Courtney Kenney at cdkenney@pahrumpnv.gov. An Aug. 5 story in the Pahrump Valley Times said parade applications were already open, and an earlier article described the event as the 57th Annual Fall Festival, underscoring how long the gathering has anchored the town’s calendar.
For Pahrump, the practical significance is immediate: early applications and ticket sales create a deadline for entrants, a head start for vendors, and a clearer signal to businesses trying to gauge how much fall foot traffic may spill into the rest of town.
