About California Events Calendar

No matter what the weather or season, Californians have a reason to celebrate. When summer ends, we shift gears to these events: Oktoberfest; Halloween pumpkin plunges, trunk or treats, haunted houses and costume contests; Thanksgiving Turkey Trots; Ice Skating rinks at beaches and parks; Nutcracker ballets in every city, Christmas Tree Lightings, Holiday Parades, Lighted Boat Parades, Lantern Festivals, Illuminations and theme park attractions. Be advised that events are NOT guaranteed — it is your responsibility to confirm before going. For correction requests, please include page link:
