Independence Day Celebration

Join us for an old-fashioned Independence Day Celebration. For more than 20 years folks have been coming out to Wilder Ranch to celebrate July 4th as they would have done in the Santa Cruz area more than 100 years ago. There will be children's crafts, live music, living history demonstrations, food etc. If you wish to join in a patriotic parade, arrive at the tunnel at 11:45 a.m. The parade begins at 12:00 noon. Feel free to bring a flag and wear an old-fashioned costume for the parade. Parking is limited, carpooling is suggested.
