Mud Mania: A Celebration of Adobe in Long Beach, CA
Adobe is one of the oldest and most common building materials known to man. Traditionally sun-dried, adobe blocks are made of sand, clay, water and straw and were used to construct the home at Rancho Los Cerritos — built 168 years ago in 1844. Adobe brickmaking was used in Spain starting from the eighth century B.C onward, and was introduced in California and the Southwest by the Spanish.
Celebrate adobe, learn about its properties, listen to live entertainment and have fun at an event in Long Beach, Calif., where you are invited to squish some history between your toes at Mud Mania. Guests make real adobe bricks, plaster a wall with mud, construct a mini-adobe home, compete in mud relay races, and learn about our local adobe soil and its many uses throughout history.
