Celebrating 250 Years of America through our Local Heroes

Two and a half centuries ago, a nation was built on the courage of everyday people. This Fourth of July, we honor that legacy right here at home by celebrating the veterans, firefighters, first responders, educators, and community builders who carry that spirit forward in Incline Village and Crystal Bay.

The Local Heroes 4th of July Celebration is a three-day tribute to the people who make our mountain community thrive. From a kids’ bike parade and a hometown procession of floats and fire trucks, to pancake breakfasts, a community fair, and bar-b-ques — every moment is a chance to say thank you to the heroes in our own backyard.

250 years of America. One remarkable community. Join us.
