Thousands of Nevadans gathered Saturday morning in Carson City to celebrate the state’s diverse and encapsulating history.
The parade, dating back to 1938, featured over 200 entries and lasted about 4 hours.
From Burning Man art cars and enthusiasts to a lowrider club and Mexican dancing horses, the parade featured something for everybody.
A variety of law enforcement and military members participated, with a flyover at the start of the parade to kickoff the festivities.
