Heritage Day Festival
China Camp’s signature festival is back! Watch the historic China Camp Village come alive with thunderous drumming, shimmering costumes, and the wide smiles of Chinese lions. Snack on steamed buns, play mahjong, and enjoy performances of traditional music. Kids’ activities include building toy boats and making dragon kites—perfect for our breezy shoreline.
This event is made possible by Friends of China Camp, the Marin Chinese Cultural Association, the Redwood Empire Chinese Cultural Association, California State Parks, and the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park.
All events and activities will take place at China Camp’s historic village.
