The Carson City Rendezvous has something for everyone. Click on a picture on the interactive map below to see more details.

The Carson City Rendezvous is pleased to present the Brookfield Choraliers, singing "I'm Glad To Call Nevada Home" by Barbara Meyer, directed by Tim Nolte. They will perform at the Opening Ceremony on Saturday morning and again on the Main Stage Saturday afternoon. Click on their picture below to visit the Brookfield School web site.

The 2010 Rendezvous is proud to announce that a Naturalization Ceremony will be included in the Opening Ceremony on Saturday morning, June 12. Naturalization ceremonies are celebrations during which individuals born outside of the U.S., who have met all requirements for United States citizenship, are awarded Certificates of Naturalization. The new citizens at this ceremony are from Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, Turkey, Honduras, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, Bangladesh, Australia, India, Guatemala, Argentina, Vietnam, and Finland. Trisha Zinda will sing the National Anthem, the Brookfield Choraliers will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and the candidates will be congratulated by President Abraham Lincoln, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Scout "Kit" Carson. The candidates then take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States and leave the ceremony with all the rights and responsibilities of every other U.S. citizen. TV personality John Tyson will speak about the diverse heritage of the west. These ceremonies have been held at The State Capitol, Western Nevada College, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, UNR, and many other locations. Rendezvous welcomes these new Americans!

HBO is planning on filming this ceremony and the Rendezvous, so come on down to appear on TV yourself!

Since 1984, people from all over the west have experienced this one-of-a-kind living history festival with re-enactments, demonstrations, and participation. All of the groups that are a part of the Carson City Rendezvous take great pride in the accuracy and authenticity of their presentations.

The Carson City Rendezvous is and always has been a leader in historical tourism events, drawing approximately 30,000 people who patronize local businesses and use services and entertainment in our area. The Rendezvous has been nominated one of the top one hundred events in the United States by the Nevada Commission on Tourism.

Our event program, the Passport to the Past, is available FREE to all Rendezvous attendees.

As you travel around the Rendezvous, get your Passport stamped at marked locations. If you get all the stamps, you can get a FREE gift at our Mercantile Store in the Food Court.  These gifts include sponsor promotional items. Pens, hats, t-shirts, mugs or anything with your name on it can be part of this year’s “Passport” gift program. The “Passport” encourages traffic and is also a keepsake memento because of the colorful stamps and the page dedicated to autographs of the stars at Saturday’s special performance. Your message is viewed not just at the event, but goes home with each attendee.

In addition, sponsors with a booth at Rendezvous will have an opportunity to stamp “Passports”, bringing the public into direct contact with your business.

We will work with you to customize a sponsorship program tailored specifically for your company. Sponsorships run from $100 to $2,500 with something for every budget. Click below to view or download a sponsor information packet below:
