Lumber Jack Day

The annual Lumberjack Day in nearby West Point takes place annually on the first Saturday of October, and is hugely popular with locals and visitors alike… they call it the “Biggest Little Celebration in the Mother Lode” for a reason.

For over 40 years, this event has featured a day packed with fun, old-fashioned activities for the entire family. Highlights include the largest parade in the county (full of local color and humor), soap box derby (with contestants from all over Northern California), The Lawn Chair Brigade (performing now for over a decade), and of course the lumberjack show and competition that attracts competitors from all over the United States for its men and women’s events, big timbers, axe throwing, hot rod saws, choker setting, Jack and Jill saw bucking, and chainsaw contests.
