Event Description:
The International Camel and Ostrich Races returns to the track September 5-7, 2025, for its 66th year of good-old fashioned Virginia City fun! Get up-close to camels, ostriches, zebras, emus, and more as professional and amateur jockeys gallop, swerve, and falter their way to the finish line. The family-favorite event features quirky races, entertainment, surprises, fan contests, food trucks serving up carnival-style treats, craft and artist vendors, a wide variety of beverages at the event bars, official Camel Races merch, and camel rides for that must-have photo-op.
This Nevada tradition is one of the must-see events in the West and the shows sell out quickly. Get your tickets and guarantee your seat now!
