Looking for California Gold Festivals
Although expos in which collectors sell gold jewelry and coins are extremely popular, a different type of event that celebrates gold is equally interesting and fun to attend. California Gold Festivals celebrate the state’s history and recognition for one of the world’s best known gold rushes which began in the late 1840s. Held directly on the land where gold was discovered, the people hosting these events have a real passion for gold history, stories, and of course, the gold. Some who participate are descendants of the miners who came to California seeking fortune.
