Fourth of July at the Kelley House: Best Parade Viewing!

The annual Kelley House Museum July 4th BBQ & Lawn Party offers the best parade viewing spot in Mendocino, plus live music, hot dogs, burgers, veggie burgers, margaritas, beer, wine, dancing and more! Located directly across from the Main Street judges’ stand, this is the top spot to put down your blankets, set up your chairs, watch the parade and enjoy an old-fashioned small town Independence Day celebration. There is no charge for admission.

The party begins at 10:30 a.m. so come early to eat and enjoy the music of The Mixed Nuts, sponsored by Old Gold. Dance to the band’s unique blend of Latin, calypso, jazz and swing before and after the parade. Feast on traditional Fourth of July barbecue fare while enjoying ice cold beer from North Coast Brewing Company with help from Noyo Ice, red and white wine compliments of Pacific Star, and soft drinks. For the first time, frosty margaritas will be available! Safeway, Harvest Market and Highway 20 Feed also support the event. All proceeds benefit the non-profit Kelley House Museum.
