Parades—not the drive-thru variety but ones involving actual marching people—may feel like a distant pre-COVID memory. But the real thing is still around, at Willits Frontier Days. Though it’s a bit of a post-mask-mandate novelty, the parade is not the main attraction. Rather it’s the CCPRA and junior rodeos that draw the crowds. Besides the calf-roping and barrel racing, there is also a western dance, country music concert, and beef barbecue. It all happens July 2–4 at the Rodeo Grounds in Willits. The junior rodeo is on July 2 at 3 p.m. ($10; free 12 and younger) and the professional rodeo is on July 3 at 7 p.m. and July 4 at 4 p.m. ($20; $10 ages 5–12). Meanwhile, the free parade will march down Main Street on July 4 at 11 a.m., to be followed at noon by the barbecue ($25; $15 ages 12 and younger) and free live country music in Rec Grove Park.
