Fernley’s Historic 4th of July Celebration

Dear Fernley Friends and Neighbors,

Each year, our community comes together to honor a tradition that’s more than just a celebration—it’s a defining part of who we are. Fernley’s 4th of July has long been a symbol of unity, pride, and small-town spirit at its finest. This year, we’re proud to continue that legacy with a full day of festivities, fireworks, and hometown fun that reminds us all why we love where we live.

From the early-morning sizzle of the Masonic Breakfast to the patriotic energy of the Main Street Parade, and from the laughter of kids’ games to the timeless spectacle of fireworks lighting up the desert sky, this is Fernley at its best. We’ve added new events, kept the classics, and leaned into what makes this holiday ours.

One of this year’s highlights is our first-ever Battle of the Bands at Out of Town Park on July 3rd. We’re bringing the stage alive with homegrown talent, fierce competition, and a $500 grand prize—just the kind of kickoff a hometown celebration deserves.

As always, this event wouldn’t be possible without the tireless dedication of our volunteers, the generosity of our sponsors, and the incredible heart of the Fernley community. Whether you’re marching in the parade, judging a watermelon eating contest, or simply sitting back with your family under the fireworks, thank you for being part of what makes this celebration special.

Fernley’s 4th of July is more than an event—it’s a legacy. And it’s one we’re proud to celebrate with all of you.

With gratitude and anticipation,

Robert Perea

President, Fernley 4th of July Committee
