Fallon Cantaloupe Festival & Country Fair
2024-08-23 - 2024-08-25 | Churchill County Fairgrounds, 325 Sheckler Road, Fallon, NV, 89406
Dating all the way back to 1911, Fallon’s lasting love for locally renowned Hearts of Gold Cantaloupes has turned into the longest food and drink festival in Nevada. Sitting thousands of feet lower in elevation than the Reno area makes Fallon an agricultural hotspot for the Reno-Tahoe region, with some of the best produce, meat and dairy, and award-winning grain-to-glass estate distilled spirits, though the heralded juicy, always-flavorful Hearts of Gold Cantaloupe may be Fallon’s crown jewel. It’s certainly been around long enough, with substantial muskmelon production grown in Fallon, then shipped to the East predating the Great Depression. Today, this weekend-long festivity celebrates these specialty Fallon cantaloupes with all kinds of cantaloupe treats—from shakes, to ice cream, to juicy slices with decadent toppings and beyond—along with live local entertainment, carnival rides, livestock exhibits, and plenty of vendors and fair food treats.
