Holidays on the 4

The holidays on Highway 4 mean lights in Angels Camp, the Murphys open house and parade, and craft fairs and holiday markets. Lights, parades, kids' things, and markets each get their own list, and only what organizers have posted. This page stays at this address and fills in again every winter.
