January in California launches with the mega-festival--the Tournament of Roses which includes the famous Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl (college football game) held in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
While millions of visitors and residents in California are nursing their hang-overs or late night partying at New Year's Eve celebrations, some are out participating in decades-long traditions of Polar Plunges into the Pacific Ocean or some body of water in California.
January means the launch of the
migrating whales and boat tours to see
them. It also is the finest time to
visit California deserts before they get
too hot. You'll find a variety of
festivals in January through April.
