The Ramona Chamber of Commerce has been hard at work planning two of the community’s favorite summer events: the July 4th Family Picnic & Fireworks and the Ramona Country Fair.
Months of coordination with the Ramona Kiwanis & the Ramona Rotary have gone into organizing food vendors, live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and of course, an unforgettable fireworks show to celebrate Independence Day. More importantly, your donations make it all possible!
Meanwhile, preparations for the Ramona Country Fair are in full swing, with carnival rides, games, local vendors, and live performances all set to bring fun and excitement to the community throughout the multi-day event beginning on August.1st.
Learn more about these events below.
