Black Diamond Miners Day

Celebrate our Coal Mining Heritage with us in Black Diamond on July 7! Our lineup of events include a 5-K run, Chalk-In competiton, Historical tours and projects, Beer Garden, Live Music, Barbecue, Chili Cook-off, Fashion Show, Dunk Tank, and a streetful of vendors and crafts! We even have a special booth for the children to enjoy while Mom and Dad relax.

Proceeds from this festival will support the Black Diamond Coal Miners Statue and Memorial. This ambitious project will feature a granite wall with the names of the 1100 Washington State Miners who died underground, as well as a bronze statue of a miner in action by acclaimed artist Paul Crites.

Join the fun! More details are on our facebook page. Just Google "Black Diamond Miners Day".
