For 131 years, our mountain community has gathered at the historic Alba Schoolhouse to celebrate Independence Day.

Join us for a day of classic American BBQ, live music, local history, and family fun beneath the beautiful redwoods of Ben Lomond Mountain.

Guests are encouraged to bring a side dish for our community potluck. Burgers, hot dogs, and sausages will be available with a donation, and vegetarian options will be offered as well.

The celebration begins at 11:00 AM on Saturday, July 4, and wraps up at 2:30 PM.

Location: Sequoia Retreat Center, 11445 Alba Road approximately 1.5 miles up Alba Road from Highway 9.

Enjoy live performances by Joshua Lowe & the Juncos and more.

The historic Alba Schoolhouse was lost in the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex Fire. Local volunteers, supported by generous community donations, are working toward rebuilding and creating Alba Schoolhouse Park, which will feature a welcoming picnic area for all to enjoy.

Join our volunteer crew and help make the event a success by signing up at https://forms.gle/FfBjkUsYpFBJvuQr5.

All contributions are fully tax‑deductible through the nonprofit Friends of the Alba Schoolhouse.
