Description of Homecoming Celebration Activities:

California’s historic town of Copperopolis turned 150 years old in 2010. We continue celebrate our unique little town with an annual Homecoming Celebration and want to invite everyone who loves small town charm to join us. Copperopolis’ Homecoming was started by our founding families for an annual get together. Now everyone is welcome for a celebration fitting a town that saw Black Bart’s first and last stage coach robbery, hosted Mark Twain at a town social, had one of the country’s richest copper mines and a family owned Telephone Company. The traditional pancake breakfast will be the first event of the day held in the Armory. Vendors will be selling their wares in the Armory under a canopy of beautiful handmade quilts from the Copper Quilters. Our “Locally World Famous” Homecoming Parade will feature an array of colorful characters, gunfighters, saddle queens, citizens, politicians and animals both tame and wild. Family fun, BBQ and Parade Awards will follow at Copper Fire Station 1 on Main Street (O’Byrnes Ferry Rd.) across from the Post Office.

Mark you calendars! Copperopolis Homecoming June 1, 2013

Copperopolis Homecoming 2012 food, fun, friends and a grand parade

The 2012 Copperopolis Homecoming was a perfect day!
The weather, a little on the hot side, was perfect for a parade.
The day began with a pancake breakfast in the historic Armory. After a full tummy, a short walk away was the Copperopolis Museum - open one day a year...homecoming day. The museum manned by none other than local amateur historian Ed Gouzzenne. As you walk through the museum it begins to pull you into the history of our town. From mining to brothels and everything in between.

Soon the parade began with free hotdogs, Smokey the Bear and ribbon awards quickly following. The pictures will tell the story.
Enjoy the photographic journey of Copperopolis Homecoming 2012:)
