With autumn in full swing, Pioche is readying for its 2025 Fall Festival in the Park on Saturday, Oct. 11. Residents and visitors are invited to the Pioche Town Park from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. for an afternoon packed with family-friendly activities, food and entertainment.

Organized by the Pioche Chamber of Commerce, the festival promises a wide array of attractions. A major highlight for younger attendees will be the Kids Carnival and Costume Contest, hosted by the Pioche Elementary PTG. Children are encouraged to wear their most creative costumes and enjoy the festivities, which will also include a bounce house.

The event will also feature several friendly competitions, including a chili cookoff for local culinary masters to prove their recipe is the best, and a cornhole tournament for those with a competitive spirit.

Car enthusiasts will have plenty to admire at the classic car show, while shoppers can browse through booths set up by a variety of local vendors. No fall festival would be complete without seasonal treats, and a bake sale will be on-site to satisfy every sweet tooth.

For more information, including details on how to enter the chili cookoff, cornhole tourney or car show, please email the Pioche Chamber of Commerce at chamber@piochenevada.com.
