Free Summer Concerts are here! Pictured is Dana Point, Calif., where they get huge turnouts to see bands like this yacht rock group. But there's also county fairs, wine festivals, beer fests, and food festivals. Cultural fairs, anime, sports and music are just a few ways to rock your summer, often for free, in California.
