The 2026 Nevada Day Parade is set to begin at 10 a.m. on Oct. 31 in Carson City, and the official lineup runs to 221 entries. That makes the parade one of the day’s biggest public draws before a wheel has turned or a band has stepped off.
The list includes marching bands, first responders, elected officials, community groups and more, giving parade-goers a broad preview of what will move down Carson Street Saturday morning. The complete lineup will be included in the official Nevada Day Parade Guide, which will be stationed along Carson Street and handed out by Carson Now before the parade begins. Readers can also check the Nevada Day mobile app for the full lineup.
The timing matters because the release comes just ahead of the parade itself, when people are deciding where to stand and what to watch for. Carson Now says it will keep publishing parade-day information and event schedules throughout the week leading up to Saturday, but the lineup already shows how crowded the route will be.
What the guide does not answer is how the morning will unfold if conditions change. For now, the official plan is straightforward: 221 entries, a 10 a.m. start and a full route of spectators along Carson Street before the parade begins.
