All proceeds support the restoration of the Atascadero Printery Building. Built in 1915 as the press building of the Woman’s National Publishing Company, it played a vital role in the city’s early development. Thanks to community efforts led by the Atascadero Printery Foundation, plans are underway to revive the space into a vibrant arts, education, and cultural center.

“We are incredibly excited to be hosting this year’s 4th of July celebration and partnering with Tiny Porch Concerts,” said Karen McNamara, president of the Atascadero Printery Foundation. “A big thank you to the City of Atascadero for generously donating the park space so we can bring this joyful community event to life.”

No outside food or alcohol is permitted. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Food and beverages are on-site throughout the afternoon and evening. Celebrate Independence Day with great music, local flavor, and purpose — while helping restore a cornerstone of Atascadero’s rich history.
