3rd Annual Mark Twain Days Literary Festival | October 13th thru 17th 2026

Visit Carson City and Brewery Arts Center 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. Discover yourself like Samuel Clemens did when he left Missouri to find his true identity in Nevada with art, music, treasure hunt, a Picon Punch Off competition, the Twain Train, outdoor vendor fair, family activities and so much more. A full schedule of events will be available soon, so stay tuned! Interested in becoming a vendor? Sign up HERE!
