4th of July

We regret to report the cancellation of the City of Monterey's Big Little Backyard Bar-B-Que and Entertainment Extravaganza for 2021. We hope to be able to meet you all back on the lawn of Colton Hall next year for music, dancing, and fun.

Join Blue Zones Project Monterey County, City of Monterey Parks Division, and Sustainable Monterey as we help one of our local beaches recover from the holiday weekend.

At 10am you'll find us at Monterey Bay Park with buckets and trash pickers in hand. Bring your enthusiasm - we'll provide everything else. All ages are welcome! Please register online in advance so we know to expect you.

Don't miss the return of the annual Pancake Breakfast benefiting MY Museum ! On the lawn of Colton Hall, 8am-11am, there will be a crafts table and firetruck tours for the kids, a chance to meet your local firefighters, and pancakes, eggs, sausage, fruit, and coffee. Purchase your tickets online today.

Covid-19 restrictions are definitely lessening as we move towards a more "normal" situation in California. Unfortunately, we don't feel confident bringing 20,000 people together quite yet. Consequently, we will not be hosting a Fourth of July Parade in 2021.

With that said, the Old Monterey Business Association is already looking forward to next year with marching bands, floats, and the whole array of community groups and supporters coming together for Independence Day 2022! We wish everyone a safe, sane, and healthy 4th of July.
