Point Reyes – Fourth of July

You Mon Tsang June 24th, 2010

The July 4th weekend is a great time to come to the Point Reyes area.  The Point Reyes weather is generally more comfortable than the rest of the Bay Area.  The food in the area is fresh as the local farms are producing their bounty.  And, if you are interested, there are many local events that give you a flavor of the different towns in the area.

  • Bolinas-Stinson Beach Tug-of-War: Every Fourth of July, the towns of Stinson and Bolinas have a tug of war over the channel that separates the two towns.
  • Woodacre 4th of July Parade and Celebration
  • Inverness Fourth of July Party
  • Bolinas Parade and Summer Fair
  • Point Reyes Farmers Market is underway

For more details, head over to the Point Reyes calendar.

Western Weekend at Point Reyes Station

You Mon Tsang June 1st, 2010

The Western Weekend celebrates the ranching roots of West Marin, with 4-H exhibits and homecoming queens.  If you are coming through for just the day, plan to watch the parade on Sunday at noon thru at Point Reyes Station.  The Western Weekend parade is the real electic mix of the area, combining the cowboy with the local food and the local artists.  It’s real local fun.
