Pictured is the perfect salute to National Day of the Cowboy on July 22, 2017. California Rodeo July 20-23 in Salinas is the biggest rodeo in California and among the Top 20 in the U.S.

It’s the middle of summer and there’s no room for summertime blues, except when it comes to Redwood City’s PAL Blues Festival. In addition to the long list of  free summer concerts in parks, there are over a dozen music fests this week ranging from reggae to rock.
