Four days of family, food, and festival fun.

Every fall, the community of Pahrump comes together for one of Southern Nevada’s most beloved traditions. Part county fair, part hometown celebration, and part showcase of local talent, the Pahrump Fall Festival is four days packed with carnival rides, rodeo action, live entertainment, exhibits, food, and community pride.

Whether you’re coming for the rodeo, bringing the family for the carnival, or simply looking for a weekend escape from Las Vegas, Fall Festival offers something for everyone. Shoppers can browse unique finds at Death Valley Marketplace, while visitors looking for locally grown products can stop by Green Life Productions.

Choose from comfortable hotels, resort accommodations, and RV parks throughout the valley, making it easy to turn a day trip into a full weekend getaway. Enjoy great food this festival weekend with handcrafted wines and elevated dining at Artesian Cellars, locally brewed favorites at Steelbound Brewery, or authentic Italian flavors at Farinata Pizza.

You can wake up close to the action, enjoy more time exploring the community, and experience Fall Festival the way locals do.
