Sat & Sun., Oct 6th and 7th, 2012 ~ ”C” St., downtown Virginia City, NV
As seen in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and TV stations across the country!
This fun and hilarious event marks a moment in history when the townspeople once took their outhouses to the streets and marched to city hall to protest new ordinances that outlawed outdoor toilets. Since then the event has become an annual tradition to relive history and honor the golden age of outdoor plumbing!
Presented by and many thanks to…
This is a fun and easy competition that is open to anyone who wants to put a 3 man team together (must be 18 and over). One to ride on “the throne”, and the other two to push their outhouse along the 100 feet of pavement from the starting line to the finish line! And by the way, the finish line is of course….toilet paper!
Entry fee is only $50 for each outhouse. For entry forms and rules, click here: Rules and Application

The event itself is FREE to the public and promises to be a fun and humorous time for the whole family! Here’s how it works…
The official parade of outhouses starts at Noon on Sat., Oct. 6th, right along “C” Street downtown, followed by a double elimination tournament from 1 to 5PM. Second rounds of the competition and the final race for the championship take place on Sunday starting at 12PM. There will be a chance to vote for the ugliest, the prettiest, the most unusual outhouses, etc. during the People’s Choice Awards on Saturday. All races take place on “C” street (the main drag) in downtown Virginia City.
Typical outhouse themes vary in styles, décor, and originality, leaving the entries completely up to the imagination of the team and the company, group, or family that it represents. This makes for interesting renditions of artistic license! Some of the entrants from past years include “The Flapper Crappers”, “The Haunted Outhouse”, “Alice In Pottyland”, “The Potty Poopers”, “The Urinator”, and “The Golden Throne” whose team comes all the way from San Jose, CA!
