MARK TWAIN DAYS FESTIVAL
HOSTED BY VISIT CARSON CITY
Join us April 21-23, 2023 to celebrate one of Nevada’s most prolific, witty, wise (and wise-cracking) writers, Mark Twain. Learn more about his work and how he helped to define Carson City. We invite you to the Mark Twain Days Festival in Downtown Carson City. Discover yourself like Samuel Clemens did when he left Mississippi to find his true identity in Nevada with art, music, treasure hunts, costume contests, the Twain "Cocktail" Train, and so much more. Visit: www.visitcarsoncity.com/mark-twain-days for more information and schedule of events.
