June < July Events California 2008 > Aug

July is picnics, barbeques, beach fires, surfing competitions, rock festivals out on the lawn, sandcastles in the sand and a whole lot more. In California and at its beaches July is the month where youu'll see the most traffic. Millions share the sand and the water for some r&r. One of the largest attended sandcastle events in the United States is held in Imperial Beach in July. On the Central Coast they're having a ball with the Ojai Rock Fest and the Santa Barbara Bastille Day French Festival.

Don't forget about 4th of July. There's hardly a dry eye as the floats and patriotic themed bands march down Main Street in Huntington Beach. Throughout California residents and visitors are greeted to the rockets' red glare, bombs bursting in air and the American flag on America's Independence Day celebrations. These events include fun runs, games, contests and the big fireworks show on the beaches and in the parks at night. If you love summer, you'll love it the most in California during a beautiful July day.

While many activities and events herald the new year, one California favorite is Whale Watching. You can park your car at the roadside vista along Highway 1 in Big Sur and watch them, or board a boat to the Channel Island and get views as part of your journey. Better yet, take a whale watching tour to see the magnificent migrating gray creatures in the Pacific Ocean. You normally don't have to travel more than a few miles off coast to watch, depending on their favorite spots.

One thing to consider, like all your travels, please do call first before going. Some museums actually close their doors for the winter in the mountain areas. Even the events get cancelled from time to time and they forget to tell us.
