About California Events Calendar

As summer gives way to fall, Californians gear up for Halloween, then Christmas. The beaches remain great destinations with festivals such as an Air Show in Huntington Beach, a Fog Fest in Pacifica, Sandcastle contests, and many warm days up to November. Festivals celebrate foods & harvests - apples, wine grape crush & stomps, eggplant, mandarins and more. Remember that events are subject to change, and it is your responsibility to confirm before going. For corrections, please include page link.
