Montanans love Virginia City and the charming little town will soon be open for another season. In fact, according to a Facebook post, the Virginia City Kick-Off Parade and Duck Races are scheduled for Saturday, May 25th starting at 1:30 pm, so make sure to mark your calendars.

The family-friendly event is well attended, including the parade, horseback poker ride, and duck races. Plus, the money from the duck races will go to help fund scholarships for Madison County seniors.

If you've never been to Virginia City, you'll want to plan at least a day to check everything out. Virginia City is one of Montana's best places to enjoy what The Treasure State offers, from the candy and ice cream shops to the old-time photos and different entertainment venues.

Folks love the Virginia City Players and for those who enjoy a little more adult humor, the Brewery Follies is always a good time. Plus, the town is home to the oldest saloon in the state.

Not to mention, that just a couple miles up the road is Nevada City which is a wonderful example of an old Montana gold mining town and is certainly worth checking out while you're in the area.
