The International Camel and Ostrich Races, a quirky and lively event, are a staple of Virginia City, Nevada's event calendar. They offer a unique blend of historical tradition, humor, and excitement.
The origin of this unusual tradition traces back to the 1950s when the local newspaper editor, looking to boost tourism, claimed camel racing was a popular pastime in the city. To his surprise, the San Francisco Chronicle took the claim seriously and sent a reporter to cover the event. Virginia City hastily organized the first race to maintain the ruse leading to a 60-year-plus tradition. Today camels, ostriches, and zebras ridden by jockeys participate in the races, creating an unforgettable spectacle for spectators.
The three-day event includes a parade, music performances, and a fair-like atmosphere in the historical wild west city where the 1960s television series "Bonanza" was filmed.
PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
