Check out this promo ad for the Fireman’s Ball from 1975.

The Silver City Volunteer Fire Department is excited to bring back the legendary Fireman’s Ball, a historic community event that was hugely popular throughout the 1970s and early 1980s and attracted people from all over the region. It became known as one of the great local events of the Comstock area, featuring incredible music, community, and a fun atmosphere you just do not forget.

The Fireman’s Ball was revived in 1999, and we have held several successful events since then. Our last one was planned for 2020, but unfortunately had to be canceled because of the pandemic. Now we are finally back on track and excited to host another great fundraiser for the community.

This event is also a wonderful opportunity to showcase our small historic community nestled in the Comstock Historic District, just three miles south of Virginia City. Over the years, legendary local bands like the Virons and Tommy Thomsen helped make this event what it was, and we are continuing that tradition with an incredible lineup this year.

We will have seven bands performing from 1 p.m. until dark at Silver City Park. The lineup includes indie bands from Reno like Charity Kiss and Next Question, local favorites Darren Senn, Mylo, and Wabuska Yachting Club. Make sure to stick around for an amazing performance by our headliner MATT AXTON.

Attendance is free, and we will have food, drinks, commemorative memorabilia, and activities for the kids. This is truly an event for everyone, and we encourage people to come spend the day with us enjoying music, history, and community.
