Events Update
Siskiyou Rocks
The inaugural Siskiyou Rocks concert was held Mother's Day Weekend at the Siskiyou Golden Fairgrounds as part of the Siskiyou Spring Fest event. We are so grateful to co-sponsor Rain Rock Casino for supporting this event - we received great feedback from those in attendance, and look forward to making this event even bigger and better in the future!
Grinduro Landing Party
Our Discover Siskiyou team worked with the Siskiyou Outdoor Recreation Alliance to host a landing party the evening before Grinduro to welcome the brand sponsors and pro riders to Mount Shasta. Our team was able to make connections with several large outdoor brands we hope to work with in the future, and helped spread the word about all of the fantastic activities and lodging opportunities we have to offer! Discover Siskiyou also had a booth in the athlete village where we handed out goodies and brochures, as well as collected emails for our Siskiyou Inspiration newsletter.
Gold Rush Days
We are so excited to host Gold Rush Days in Yreka June 10-11 with the City of Yreka! The two-day event will feature live music, 40+ vendors, food and beverage trucks, and activities including antiques appraisals, a mechanical bull, gold panning, a live action show, corn hole tournament, Old West photos, a pancake breakfast, and more.
