Jim Butler Days & Nevada State Mining Championships
This years theme
Queen of the Silver Camps
For nine days, the Queen of the Silver Camps comes alive with the spirit of the Old West and the time-honored tradition of the Nevada State Mining Championships. From the thunder of the rodeo to music drifting through desert nights, and the sound of hammers on drill steel, the town fills with laughter, dust, and celebration.
Watch the parade roll down Main Street, kick up your heels at the Friday night street dance, and gather ‘round for pancakes, cold beer, and good company. Wander the trails of the Tonopah Historic Mining Park, meet the folks who keep these traditions alive, and take in a town that still knows how to celebrate its roots.
Come for the day… or stay the whole run. Tonopah will be waiting.
