California's Wackiest Festivals

As the Pacifica Fog Fest approaches, Californians are out celebrating all sorts of mayhem.

Maybe you play an accordion. Then you won't want to miss Accordion Festival in Cotati.

Like pigs? Don't miss  Kiss a Pig festival in Lakeport held in May. Pig Racing season is hot and heavy around September & October, so don't miss out or you'll have to do a pig holler at the hollerin and shout contest in Coulterville.

From the Earthquake Street Festival in Winters to the Underwater Pumpkin Carving Festival in La Jolla, the good times seem to never end.

Six Inch Heels Drag Race in West Hollywood would be about cars, right? uh-no!

California's countless food fests may amaze outsiders but we locals know we can do better that garlic ice cream in Gilroy or Guac dip in Carpinteria.

Sometimes you don't need an event to celebrate. Go straight to Bumpass Hell in Lassen Volcanic National Park. You'll be put in your place.
