California Events List of Things to See and
Do in the State of California
Day in and day out the
editors of our site work constantly on events
for people to enjoy when visiting or living in
California. From
Fairs & Festivals to
Farmers Markets that bring shoppers
out to purchase fresh foods and produce from
locally grown sources,
Shopping continues to provide one of
the most popular activities and events
statewide. Trendy shops to simple farmers
markets and crafts fairs provide so much great
entertainment, and there often is some sort of
music or other attractions that surround these
weekly events.
Other weekly
happenings that are extremely popular, thanks to
the balmy weather are the weekly Car Shows such as cruise ins at
drive-ins, and meet ups at Ruby's Diner, Bob's
Big Boy or Sonic Burger. Yum. You get to see
classic cars and dine on classic foods. You
don't even have to wait for the next
Chili Cookoff to enjoy something tasty
& spicy. And when you think of
Dining, California's one of the top
spots for dining events. Throughout the year you
may attend a
Wine Tasting, brewery sampling, food
festival,
Gingerbread House contest or some
other seasonal event that brings food to life,
and ties it to a whole lot of fun.
With so many foods and
clothes to try on, exercise is around every bend
in California. Tournaments, 10 K Runs, races and
even an Iron Man style event all make life much
more interesting and usually healthier, to boot.
In addition to the great water sports on
California's
Lakes,
Kayakers can also hit the beach. If
you want a thrill, maybe you'll take up
Surfing.
Outdoorsmen and women
don't limit themselves to boats and vessels.
Ducks & Birds are great to watch. On
California piers you can
fish for free! And while you're out
breathing that great air, you might consider
taking up
Golf on one of California's several
hundred premier courses. Remember...most are
open all year long, with the top notch weather
in the world.
For history buffs and
families with kids Museums are focused on learning all
kinds of things.
Missions in California number 21 and
and span our favorite region--the coast! Get out
and see them. Our favorites include Lompoc's La
Purisima Concepcion.
I never knew I had it in me to love
Waterfalls but a recent trip to
Yosemite just made me fall in love with them.
Caves are something you'll especially
come to love in places such as Redding on the
northern part of the state where summers
routinely are over 100 degrees. Inside its a
cool 50 something in a cave.
Mountains in California offer all
kinds of sports, including
Skiing,
and a sport some are
truly passionate about, gambling at
casinos.
We actually left out a
lot of activities such as
kids playgrounds, sandcastle festivals
and sandcastle building, volleyball, beach
bonfires and dog walks. But we'll save those for
another day. They're just more reasons you
should get out and do things in California.
