This morning, thousands of people lined the streets of downtown Carson City to celebrate the Nevada Day Parade.
There were over 200 entries in today's parade, to celebrate 160 years of statehood for Nevada.
For many people, this parade is an annual tradition, and they come prepared to have a good time.
"Oh, we always drop the truck off around 6:00 a.m. - I help set up the parade, and then come back and cook some chorizos and have lunch," said Tom Donaldson.
Once ten in the morning came around, the fun began.
The parade features so many different members of the community, which one attendee says is his favorite part.
"We always look forward to seeing our friends in the parade to be honest; it's great to see them come down. We get to wave and smile. It has become a tradition getting to see who is in the parade, who is on their horses or in the buggies or the Burning Man group. It is always fantastic to see all of the diversity that Nevada has to offer," said Travis Weise.
For another attendee this parade was a part of his childhood, so he loves being able to bring his kids and show them what it is all about.
"Yeah, I think it is a big part of building community pride, right? It shows them that although we are a small town, we still have stuff to do - and it gets them out and about," said Justin Gragg.
The parade runs for close to four hours and afterwards there are other events going on to continue the celebration.
