California Travel Tips
Carmel Art Festival Leads Way to Exciting Saturday and Sunday
Published on: May 18, 2012
There’s lots going on and the weather should be quite nice throughout California this weekend. Carmel Art Festival is a free event worth taking a look. But there are thousands of festivals and fairs going on. Food festivals, rodeos, hometown parades, and nature to explore include Coulterville Coyote Howl Parade & Festival, Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, and Freeport Walk on the Wild Side Festival. Get up and boogie to shed a few pounds before swimsuit season becomes official on Memorial Weekend. Work it, own it!
