October Out West Fests
Published on: October 17, 2018
Angels Camp, Calif. Mark Twain Wild West Fest Oct.20, 2018 offers an Autumn street fest in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, elevation 1378′. This is where Mark Twain’s “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” story was set. Watch it come to life!
Californians tend to spend much time focused on costumes, parties and pumpkins during October’s Halloween season and also on Day of the Dead celebrations, but there are some really great festivals and events that have nothing to do with those holidays. SeeCalifornia.com has rounded up a few to see and do this week.
