Holiday Cheer Shines Across the Comstock
The Comstock was set ablaze with millions of colorful lights as Virginia City and Dayton held their annual Christmas tree lighting celebrations on Dec. 5 and 6. The respective local fire and sheriff departments helped lead the festivities and keep spirits bright. Children were especially thrilled to spot Santa—sharing wish lists, snapping photos, and making memories. With lights twinkling, carols in the air, and neighbors gathering together, the Comstock is officially ready to welcome a joyful holiday season.


Storey County Sheriff's delivered Santa to an audience of holiday hopefuls waiting for the lights to come on in Virginia City, Dec. 5.
