Your neighbor's guide to what's happening on the 4
A free community event listing for the Highway 4 corridor, from Angels Camp to Bear Valley.
I'm Rob. My family has had a place on Thunderbolt in Arnold since 2015. We kept missing things because events were scattered across a dozen websites, Facebook groups, and flyers at the Lube Room. So I built this. First for us, then for our neighbors. It's a labor of love, not a business. If you notice something missing or wrong, drop me a line. That's Millie, who came into our lives through California Doodle Rescue. She comes with us every trip and has strong opinions about which events involve food.
Updated every morning
We check 20+ venues daily so you don't have to. If it's happening on the 4, it's here.

Families & members welcome
Plenty of events on the 4 are great for kids, from the playground at White Pines Lake to summer movies at Blue Lake Springs. Community events and resort activities are your best bet for family-friendly outings.
Blue Lake Springs, Sequoia Woods Country Club, and the Moose Lodge host events that are only open to members and their guests. These aren't shown by default, but you can opt in using the Clubs filter on the main page. Look for the lock icon, toggle on the clubs you belong to, and their events will appear alongside everything else.
