Pioneer Day 2014,
Rossi Retort
Dedication
Since
1983, NAQCPA has
held their
annual Pioneer Day celebration in Almaden Quicksilver County Park, in
partnership with the County Parks Department. The original purpose of
Pioneer Day was to be a get-together to share stories with former New
Almaden miners and people who remembered the mines. While that is still
the case, it has also been associated with the dedication of historic
sites, interpretive signs, or projects in the park. Most of these were
NAQCPA projects, or NAQCPA members were involved with them.

The
Santa Clara County Horsemen's Association at the Jump-In
Parade, 9/13/14
For more than 34 years, the
community of
New Almaden has held their New Almaden Day community celebration,
kicked off by the Jump-In parade. It's an informal parade around the
town, where anyone can jump in and join. Afterwards, there is a
carnival held at the New Almaden Community Club, featuring games,
prizes, food, and entertainment. The last New Almaden Day and
Jump-In Parade before the pandemic was held on Saturday September 14,
2019. It was canceled in 2020
and 2021 due to the pandemic. It came back on September 10,
2022. Last year, it was held on September 9, 2023. This year, it will be held on
September 14, 2024, starting at
11:00 am at the New Almaden Community Club.
