2008 February Calendar Events

January < February Events California 2008 > March

February is an interesting month in California. In the north and it is still pretty cool temperature wise. The mountains still have snow and in fact, are in the heart of ski season. And, at the beach, you can almost feel spring in the air as the blossoms on the orange and lemon trees spread a fragrant scent in the air. Holidays in February include one of the romance favorites, Valentine's Day. But first you have to figure out what the weather will be, so you hurdle through with a proclamation from the groundhog in PA. On Saturday, February 2, 2008, Groundhog Day is a day celebrated in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. If a groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring. Wednesday February 6, Ash Wednesday, is a Catholic celebration relating to Easter. Thursday February 14 is Valentine's Day. It's a day to trade cards, gifts such as flowers and chocolate, or take a mate on a dinner date or romantic escape. The only official holiday in the United States in February is on Monday February 18, President's Day. Schools, banks and government offices take a day off.

What's new in California in February 2008? There are countless plays and performances not shown on this calendar. But the theme for this month might best be described as spring's blossoming. Whether the blossoms of love are opening and growing in a romantic Valentine's Day celebration, or you're celebrating Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras, you'll find tulips in bloom in San Francisco, and the Chinese New Year celebrations launching another lunar year recognized as the Year of the Rat. Pigs are out. What's beautiful in February is the variety of options. In the mountains you'll find yourself in the heart of the ski and snowboard season. But in the flatlands and beaches of California, the blossoms of lemon trees release a fragrance that simply intoxicates. The natives are feeling the sunshine, smelling the fragrant air, and springing forth into another glorious summer of beach events.
