SUMMARY:Genoa Candy Dance & Faire
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed. Click here to see the 2022 Genoa Candy Dance & Faire. \nFor generations\, locals and visitors alike have flocked to Nevada’s oldest permanent settlement\, for the Annual Candy Dance! The event originated with a humble and simple need…street lights. Yes\, street lights. In 1919\, the town needed to raise money to purchase and install the lights. Prominent Genoa resident Lillian Virgin Finnegan developed the idea to host a dance\, and pass out homemade candy\, as a fundraiser and the first Genoa Candy Dance was born. \nThe first Candy Dance was a success and the streetlights were purchased. However\, the maintenance costs and electricity bills raised another funding problem\, which was solved by making the Candy Dance an annual fundraiser. Almost 100 years later\, the Candy Dance has grown to more than 300 craft and food vendors. In fact\, they close the streets to vehicles during the two-day event. \nGenoa Candy Dance Fun Facts: \n\nOf the 10 original lights in town\, 9 still burn brightly.\nLillian Virgin Finnegan was an active supporter of women’s suffrage.\nToday the Genoa Candy Dance funds about ⅔ of the town’s annual budget.\nEvery year volunteers make about 4\,000 pounds of Genoa’s famous homemade candy.\nA craft fair was added to the event in the 1970s.\nThe event draws about 50\,000 visitors.\n\nThis annual event is always held the last full weekend of September. Make your travel plans soon to enjoy this historic event! \nStay up-to-date on Carson Valley events and activities by connecting with us on Facebook\, Twitter\, and Instagram. \nTake a self-guided tour around Genoa with this Candy Dance Street Light Map
