    Lee Vining Centennial Community Fair Mono 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. Established 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. "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 …

Wednesday September 2 is a time to be together— with friends, neighbors and a larger family—all working to improve our community. We hope you’ll pencil in “ Picnic with a Purpose” for that date. That’s INYO350’s third annual end-of-summer picnic at the back of Bishop City Park. We’ll celebrate live music with local duo Buckwheat; enjoy delicious, affordable food from Uncle Shyam’s and Mr. C’s*; gain insights from local and state candidates; and marvel at the commitment of local groups and their individuals.
