Thanks for highlighting ‘Long May She Wave’ and its dedication in Elko, along with so many other great projects throughout the state!

Celebrations across Nevada, captured in one story 🇺🇸✨

From Hoover Dam to Elko, Sparks to Mesquite, and communities large and small in between, Nevadans came together to honor America250 through moments of connection, culture, service, and shared reflection.

Each image reflects the energy, creativity, and pride found across our state as we commemorate 250 years of American history through public art, civic celebrations, volunteer service, and community gatherings.

Together, these moments tell one story of Nevada coming together to honor the past while shaping what comes next.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring these celebrations to life.
