A newly remodeled, pedestrian-and-bike-friendly downtown is a venue for events year round

‼️UPDATE: You all FILLED THE SEATS! We're overwhelmed by the interest in our mini-movie! Confirmation emails coming soon and check back, if there's cancellations we will reopen RSVPs again!

☃️🎄Carson City is such a perfect setting for a holiday (mini) movie that, well, we made one, and we're inviting you to the premiere at the Brewery Arts Center December 10 from 6-8p. RSVP today with the link below, space is limited! ☃️🎄

‘A Winter’s Charm in Carson City’ is a homegrown movie that shows off the beauty of the Sierra, quaint and cozy streets, and an abundance of cold-weather activities for the whole family to enjoy. The story follows Claire on a business trip as she tries to lock in a land purchase and her big promotion. What she doesn’t expect is how the beauty and charm of this small town–along with her childhood crush, Benn–help her rediscover the magic of Carson City and the spirit of the season.

Grab your cocoa, watch along with us, and get inspired to have your own seasonal movie experience in Carson City.

Carson City is so perfect for a holiday movie backdrop that, well, we made it into one. Get inspired to have your own magical winter experience.

Charlie Abowd was an icon of Carson City, it's of no surprise that just before his passing he was supporting feeding those in need this Thanksgiving. We will truly miss Charlie, as the wonderful human being he was, and honor his incredible contributions he made to Carson City. We hope anyone that can support his memorial Turkey Drop Food Drive will do so.
