Independence Day always draws crowds to Crescent City and this year will be no exception.
In fact, despite the road closure at Last Chance Grade, visitors have already arrived in Del Norte County, Cindy Vosburg, executive director of the Crescent City-Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce, told the
Wild Rivers Outpost on Wednesday.
Motels have been at “100 percent capacity since April,” Vosburg said. The chamber’s visitor center has seen more than 100 people every day for a few weeks Vosburg said the numbers are greater than those in 2018 and 2019.

It’ll be a more low-key affair than initially described, but Crescent City Harbor commissioners hope a July 2 concert will lead to bigger things.
In fact, one of the newest commissioners, Harry Adams, says he’s planning for a reggae concert on July 21. Mike Schmidt’s event kicking off Independence Day weekend near his restaurant, Schmidt’s House of Jambalaya, “is getting our feet wet,” Adams told his colleagues Tuesday.
“I wouldn’t mind it in the future of the harbor benefitting from these,” Adams said, adding that the Reggae artist he spoke with approached him about performing at the harbor. “It can grow, but it’s got to start somewhere before it can grow.”
