California Festivals and Fairs in
November include events with a culturally-rich and diverse
mix of foods, festivities and fun. From tamales to mushrooms, you'll be
jumping for joy at the variety of great
activities in the parades, plays, fairs,
festivals and holiday celebrations.
Californians have turned Thanksgiving
Day celebrations
into something new for the
21st century man. Not stuck
to the tube watching
football games, people like
to get out and run in Turkey
Trots, for instance. Some
of our favorite events
include the Turkey Trot held
at Doheny Beach in Dana
Point, a no-turkey dinner at
Carmel Valley Ranch, where
turkeys sit outside the
window and watch and the
Queen Mary Thanksgiving
Buffet, a feast.
Thousands of festivals in
November launch the
Christmas holiday. Tree
lightings, parades, Santa
visits, town square open
houses and countless wine
country chefs dinners are a
few of the events, fairs,
festivals and celebrations
that launch California into
the winter season where it
can be cold and snowy in the
mountains, or warm and sunny
at the beaches and deserts. Contact :
