SUMMARY:Laura DeForce Gordon Day Aug 15 2026
DESCRIPTION:Laura DeForce Gordon Day  \nCalling all Rabble-Rousers! \nCome to Lodi to celebrate one of California’s boldest originals — Laura DeForce Gordon. In 1870\, Laura stepped off a train into what was then our Wild West railroad town and set out to change the world. She won praise from Susan B. Anthony and became California’s second female attorney\, challenging California’s “boozy rascals” to get sober\, act fairly\, and — most controversially — give women the right to vote. \nLodi’s Laura DeForce Gordon Day celebrates Laura’s fearless spirit with play\, thoughtful presentations\, and community building. \nThe games are silly on purpose: Shouting your truth in the Booing Contest and working in teams through the Legislative Obstacle Course take the same mix of courage and cooperation that shaped America’s suffrage cause. Ours is history that shimmies… giggles… and Tosses its Brassieres in joyful exultation. \nSince A&W root beer was invented in Lodi as an alternative to alcohol\, at Laura DeForce Gordon Day we pour A&W Root Beer floats at Lola’s Saloon — a nod to Laura’s anti-alcohol temperance work. As a fundraiser for local students\, we sell fancy hats at Mary Tindell’s Hat Shoppe. \nWe also face the hard parts of California’s past\, including the anti-Chinese racism of Laura’s times. Laura DeForce Gordon Day is a wonderful opportunity to showcase stories of America’s many brave women of color who also fought for voting rights. In consultation with the local Chinese-American community\, we look history right in the eye — we don’t erase it. \nOur annual Laura DeForce Gordon Day is held on the Saturday closest to Laura’s birthday. Everyone is welcome — families\, out-of-towners\, and long-time locals alike. Before and after the event\, you can meet Lodi’s costumed tour guide for a free walking tour\, visit historic sites\, and — when Laura’s not looking! — sample many delightful local wines in Lodi’s 60 tasting rooms. \nLaura DeForce Gordon Day 2026 will be held inside the elegant Woman’s Club of Lodi\, 325 West Pine Street. You can park on the street near the Woman’s Club or in the free parking garage three blocks east at Lodi’s historic mission arch. Explore Lodi is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) with volunteer leaders so your nonrefundable ticket price goes directly to supporting the event and scholarships for local high school students. \nThe dress code at Laura DeForce Gordon Day can be casual… or\, costumes and fancy hat styles from 1850-1920 are admired and applauded. Dearest\, do bring your old (laundered) brassieres for the Brassiere Toss!
