Days Festivals are Some Work and a Whole Lotta Play
“Days” festivals pictured clockwise bottom left include: Willits Frontier Days, Topanga Days, Bishop’s Mule Days, La Canada Flintridge Fiesta Days, Oroville’s Feather Fiesta Days and Middletown Days.
Last weekend you may have attended (or missed) California City’s Tortoise Days in a place surrounded by undeveloped desert, including a 25,000-acre Desert Tortoise Preserve. That’s an interesting thing to celebrate! And, while “Days” are a whole lot of work to produce, event planners say, “don’t fret — it’s worth the sweat.” Here are many days worth celebrating!
