Celebrating 101 years of Mt. Shasta + America’s 250th
Mt. Shasta turns 101 this year, and alongside America’s 250th birthday, we’re marking the moment with a full lineup of can’t-miss events, small-town charm, and just the right amount of nostalgia. Think live music drifting through pine-scented air, cold drinks in hand, and a community that knows how to celebrate summer right.
