California Attractions
California
Fairs are held throughout the year with over 70
annual events to enjoy. From traditional
agricultural and farm competitions to arts and
crafts, the rural and urban fairs combine many
great aspects of diverse California in a celebration of
food, music, entertainment, art and agriculture.
Fairs not only offer great entertainment, they
also provide educational opportunities with
hands-on exhibits allowing children adults to touch
and feel, look at and smell livestock, baby
chicks and more.
Los
Angeles County Fair television ads even poked fun at adults accustomed to
simple foods such as hot dogs. With so many
youth growing up in California's urban areas,
there's a real need for fairs. Each fair is
different and fun so if you have the
opportunity, don't visit just one--check out
several.
Fairs make great weekend getaway vacations,
especially in places such as Sonoma and Napa
where wine products are grown.
