Annual Picnic

China Camp SP, San Rafael

Saturday, August 29

This year we’re headed to the Buckeye Point picnic site at China Camp State Park, four miles east of San Rafael on San Pablo Bay. Expect a great day and great fun.

The Club will provide charcoal for barbequing and members should bring their favorite food and drink. Arrive around noon and leave when the food is gone and the charcoal is cold. Some people like to show up early and get a good parking spot!

And as it just so happens, our picnic coincides with the Heritage Day Celebration at China Camp Village. The Alma, a historic scow schooner, and The Grace Quan, a reproduction Chinese junk, will be on display. There will also be lion dancers, tai chi, folk music, village tours, crafts for children, and local art for sale.

Directions:

From Highway 101: Take the North San Pedro Road/Civic Center exit from 101 in San Rafael (in the Terra Linda district, actually) and follow the road east for four miles into the Park and along the Bay. The site will be to the left, and if you reach the China Camp Village you’ve gone too far.
