SUMMARY:Lee Vining Centennial Community Fair

We invite everyone across the Eastern Sierra and beyond to join us at Hess Park to honor our history\, share stories\, and create new memories.” \nCentennial Event Highlights & Schedule \nThe celebration begins on Friday evening\, August 28\, with an intimate kickoff dinner at the historic Mono Inn Restaurant\, featuring period piano music performed by legendary Yosemite musician Tom Bopp. This event is already sold-out! \nFestivities continue all day on Saturday\, August 29\, at Hess Park in Lee Vining with a full schedule of family-friendly activities\, live entertainment\, and historical showcases\, including a pancake breakfast\, historic walking tours\, community BBQ\, time capsule ceremony\, and more \nAll community members\, visitors\, and history enthusiasts are encouraged to attend.
