California Travel Tips
Wake Up! It’s a Bed Race
Published on: October 04, 2016
This weekend time honored traditions of eating olives and racing beds go hand-in-hand at the annual Corning Olive Festival. The Tehama County city of Corning, also known as The Olive City, contains part of the quilted patchwork of olive orchards throughout California, which grows 95% of the nation’s olives. Many events surround the Corning Olive Festival’s biggest day of celebrating on Oct. 8, 2016, such as Olive Festival Mixer at Lucero Olive Oil on Oct. 6, and a new Olive Festival Harvest Dinner & Dance on Oct. 15. Of all the olive festivals in California, this goes down as our favorite!
