Opening Ceremonies

Saturday, June 9th at 10AM in the Big Field (adjacent to the Hwy 50 corridor) ~

The color and pageantry of the Carson City Rendezvous comes in full view as we ceremoniously introduce you to all of the historical pieces and players that will make up this year’s 28th annual event!

Plenty of bleacher seating will be available that morning so get there early and enjoy the festivities!

As well, we will have a delightful musical performance by the Brookfield Choraliers, special guest appearances, and one of the best renditions of the National Anthem you have ever heard!
