Join us May 10-12, 2024, to celebrate one of America's most prolific, witty, wise (and wise cracking) writers, Mark Twain. Learn more about his work, life, and contributions to the fabric of the wild west.
The Brewery Arts Center & Visit Carson City present Mark Twain Days! Mark Twain’s time in Nevada was fast, furious, and left a lasting impact. The region and Twain were changed forever and the dust he kicked up has never quite settled. To carry on with what Mark Twain loved most about Nevada—the characters, the excitement, and the spirit of the west—we invite you to the Mark Twain Days Festival in Downtown Carson City and Virginia City. Discover yourself like Samuel Clemens did when he left Missouri to find his true identity in Nevada with art, music, literary events, neighborhood tours, the Twain Train, and so much more.
