Calistoga
Napa Valley’s rustic and refined Calistoga kicks off its holiday weekend on July 1st with its 2nd Annual Patriotic Decor Contest. Residents and visitors can take a self-guided tour of local businesses and homes that showcase their patriotic spirit with creative and fun displays.
As part of the town’s Star Spangled Social, on Sunday July 3rd, a competitive cornhole tournament starts at 11am at Pioneer Park. This tournament runs until 10pm and includes some serious cornhole playing, with both a competitive team division and a recreational division.
Also on July 3rd, across the street from Pioneer Park, the Community Center Parking Lot will host a Maker’s Fair and Family Carnival from 2-8pm. Plenty of food and carnival games will be on hand for the littles and the young at heart. The event will include artisan makers, food vendors, and even a mechanical bull!
And at 4pm, also at Pioneer Park, the Saint Helena Community band (an all-volunteer band of music lovers) will kick off the evening with a performance followed by The LC Diamonds and headliner Down Dirty Shake. Guests are encouraged to throw down a picnic blanket while enjoying craft beer, local boutique wines, and a bite to eat from local vendors.
On July 4th at 11am, the town hosts its annual 4th of July Parade, with floats, dancers, horses, and more as it travels down Lincoln Avenue.
