Help Bring the Poppy Festival to Shasta

Help Bring the Poppy Festival to Life at Shasta State Historic Park

This Giving Tuesday, help the Town of Shasta Interpretive Association continue a beloved spring tradition at Shasta State Historic Park.

Each year, the Poppy Festival welcomes families and visitors to experience the history, beauty, and community spirit of Shasta through free, hands-on activities. Visitors can watch traditional blacksmithing demonstrations, create California poppy crafts, participate in historic branding activities, enjoy a Story Walk, take family photos among the poppies, and discover the stories of one of Northern California’s most remarkable historic places.

Your Giving Tuesday donation helps make these experiences possible.

The Town of Shasta Interpretive Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the educational and interpretive programs of Shasta State Historic Park. Donations help provide the materials, supplies, activities, and interpretive experiences that allow events like the Poppy Festival to remain accessible to the community.

When you give, you are doing more than supporting a single event. You are helping families experience history together, introducing children to California’s heritage, supporting educational programs, and helping preserve the connection between Shasta’s past and future.

Help Us Grow the Poppy Festival

Every contribution makes a difference. Whether your gift helps purchase craft supplies for children, materials for historical demonstrations, or other resources needed to welcome visitors, your generosity directly supports the Poppy Festival and public programming at Shasta State Historic Park.

This Giving Tuesday, help history bloom at Shasta.

Please consider making a donation to the Town of Shasta Interpretive Association and help us continue bringing the Poppy Festival—and the history of Shasta—to life for our community.

Give today. Preserve the past. Inspire the future.
