The tiny town of Lee Vining turns a whopping 100 years old this year!

Join all 400 residents and many thousands more fans of Lee Vining to celebrate at a community fair in Hess Park on Saturday, August 29, 2026. There will be a pancake breakfast, live music, arts and crafts, antique cars, history tours, stories from elders, a BBQ lunch, time capsule, and more.

You can also start the celebration early with dinner at the Mono Inn restaurant on Friday, August 28—get tickets for the dinner online here.
