Genoa Cowboy Festival

Genoa Cowboy Festival Genoa Cowboy Festival is permanently closed. The event is no longer available in Genoa, Nevada.

With the efforts of the Town of Genoa and a host of volunteers and supporters, the Genoa Cowboy Festival made its entrance into the world of festivals in 2010. Over 4,000 folks made their way to the shows, dinners, galleries and workshops that first year. Both attendees and performers commented often that it felt “like it was in its tenth year, not its’ first.” A year later, new performers and imp

roved venues made Year number 2 special. If you are new to the festival, one thing you will certainly appreciate is that with the exception of the opening night concert, all of the venues are located within just a few blocks in Genoa. Park once and you should be able to see and hear all you want without getting back into a car or shuttle. The goal for 2013 is to continue to build on those two years and make the four days in 2013 even better! Come help us build a tradition of celebrating the Western lifestyle.

Our History

Suffice to say, the Genoa Cowboy Festival is, sadly, no more. We packed our saddlebags, loaded the wagons and rode out of town... but Genoa’s Western Heritage lives on. Bolstered by a lively history over the last 167 years, Nevada’s First Settlement has been visited by familiar historic celebrities, including Colonel John Rees, H.S. Beatie, Orson Hyde, Kit Carson, Mark Twain, Lillian Virgin Finnegan, and more recently, actors John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, James Caan, Richard Farnsworth, Kathy Bates and director Rob Reiner.
