Voted The Union's Best Charitable Event

 The second Saturday of December every year rain or shine several thousand motorcycles rumble through the streets of Nevada City and Grass Valley en route to the Nevada County Fairgrounds, a parade like no other. This year the 34th annual Nevada County Toy Run will start at the Rood Center (950 Maidu Ave, Nevada City, CA), where the Bikers will gather to rein in the new holiday season before heading down at noon, through the streets of downtown Nevada City & Grass Valley to the Nevada County Fairgrounds. With the support of local law enforcement, City of Grass Valley, Grass Valley Downtown Association and The Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce, this year we will continue the original route on Mill Street, where we hope to see many spectators to watch the parade. Once everyone arrives at the Nevada County Fairgrounds (1228 McCourtney Rd, Grass Valley, CA), the bikes will unload new unwrapped toys, gifts and food for the local families in need that might not otherwise have Christmas this year. There are hundreds of families and children waiting in anticipation for the biker's arrival.  

We invite the community to participate in many ways, many will ride their motorcycles carrying toys, some will safely watch the parade of bikes along the route, our local businesses and non-profits along with community members help make it happen with their monetary donations and volunteering, you can also bring toy donations to the fairgrounds the day before, and weather permitting we will have food and other vendors available at the fairgrounds after the parade.
