Calendar
More Than Just A Museum
The Museum of the Sierra hosts dozens of events a year that bring the community together. We strive for a balanced calendar that offers education, entertainment, and community building.
Our events include Sierra Voices, a program of oral history presentations where experts share their knowledge of the Sierra. Friday in the Pines is a very popular, free concert in our amphitheater featuring an eclectic array of local musicians. Other events include the Central Sierra Resiliency Fund workdays, Ice Cream Social, and our Annual Fundraiser Dinner.
