SUMMARY:Lee Vining Centennial Community Fair
DESCRIPTION:Lee Vining Centennial Community Fair  \nMono County and the Mono Basin Historical Society proudly invite residents and visitors to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Lee Vining during a special two-day Centennial Event on Friday\, August 28\, and Saturday\, August 29\, 2026. \nEstablished a century ago in 1926\, Lee Vining originally grew as a hub for local commerce\, resource management\, and travelers exploring the Eastern Sierra. Over the past 100 years\, the town has developed a rich legacy shaped by local families\, Indigenous traditions\, agricultural heritage\, and pioneering conservation efforts to preserve Mono Lake. Today\, Lee Vining is the vibrant heart of the Mono Basin\, the eastern gateway to Yosemite National Park via Tioga Pass\, and an iconic community along Highway 395. The Lee Vining Centennial honors 100 years of local history\, resilience\, culture\, and community spirit—from its early roots to its role today as a steward of the majestic Eastern Sierra landscape. \n“Reaching the 100-year mark is a monumental milestone for Lee Vining and all of Mono County\,” said David Carle\, President\, Mono Basin Historical Society. “This Centennial is not only a look back at the visionaries\, families\, and stewards who built this historic community\, but also a celebration of the bright future ahead. 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.
