Annual Fire and Ice Event

Contestants participate in an ice carving contest on the frozen surface of Cave Lake (safety first! if its thick enough) followed that evening by fireworks. An ice fishing derby with a large cash prize for the winner is just one of the activities of the week! This is one of the biggest event of the year, and fills up pretty fast, so make sure you are early to save a good spot, and bring LOTS of warm clothes and cocoa!

This is a once in a lifetime, real life steam locomotive ride where children can experience one of the favorite movies of their generation! Hop on board and sing Christmans carols, sip hot cocoa and meet Santa Clause at the North Pole!

On our way to the North Pole we will serve hot chocolate and cookies to all of our passengers. During the trip to the North Pole we will read the story of the Polar Express. Upon our arrival to the North Pole, Santa will board the train and greet all of the passengers. Santa and his elves will present a silver bell to all of the passengers. After Santa gets off of the train, we will head back to Ely. During the trip back everyone is invited to sing Christmas carols. This magical trip is for everyone who believes in Christmas. Come join us as we whistle-off and head way up north. – nevadanorthernrailway.net

Get your tickets well ahead of time, as families come from hours away for this magical event!


Christmas Shopping at Locally Owned Stores

Many small stores in town will have interesting and sometimes hard to find items as the holidays approach. Our four thrift stores are often the place to find vintage ornaments, and holiday decor, while toys and stocking suffers are available in our various shops in town.


Community Christmas Sing

Every year our schools, community choir, churches and local bands all come together to sing and celebrate the season at our annual community Christmas Sing.
