Lincoln Highway Days

02/23/2026

Planning for 2026 Lincoln Highway Days will begin in March!
Interested in helping the committee with activities at the fairgrounds? We'd love for you to join us!

Did you know there are several side committees for this busy weekend of activities? The Nevada Community Rodeo, The Nevada Truck and Tractor Pull and the Car Show have their own committees, as do several of the smaller events.

The Lincoln Highway Days Committee helps coordinate all of the activities of the weekend. This group also plans some of the kids activities, vendors and other entertainment that takes place during the day at the fairgrounds.

Come join us and help make August 28-30 a fun weekend in Nevada!

Did you miss the holiday lights on the Lincoln Highway light poles this year? The cost and time to replace the bulbs each year was getting to be too much.

The Lincoln Highway Days Committee is on a mission to get new light decorations for the 2026 holiday season. You can contribute by shopping at the Nevada Fareway January 5-10 and saying "YES" to the roundup.

Thank you for helping this community tradition stay alive!
