April 11, 2023 (Descanso) – Descanso’s first community fair was held in 1899 under a tent near the creek. The tradition has grown through the years to include a parade and community fair, which this year will be held on June 3. The festivities take place at the historic Descanso Town Hall, 24536 Viejas Grade Road in Descanso, a small rural town east of Alpine.
Arrive early, since roads close at 8 a.m. for the parade, which begins at 9 a.m. The parade is followed by the fair which begins at 10 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m.
You’re invited to “get your boots on” to learn about the town’s history and enjoy the fun, which includes music by Whiskey Ridge, food by Descanso Junction, and beer served up by Burning Beard Brewing Company. There will also be vendors, children’s games, face painting, horseshoe tournaments, a cakewalk, raffle and more.
