Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<p>1. SHOPPING: From a flying pig made out metal scraps to re-purposed purses made from coconut shells, cigar boxes and other objects, there&#8217;s a lot of neat stuff out there just waiting for a home.<br \/>\n2. PEOPLE:\u00a0\u00a0There&#8217;s nothing boring about the people at festivals. Pictured in the center photo is Patricia Kennedy-Pavelock, eagerly volunteering her time to promote\u00a0the 75th Anniversary of Palos Verdes Estates. But what really excites this proud mom is her son, Devin, and his musical success in a band he formed called &#8220;Last Night&#8217;s Stand&#8221; (lastnightsstand.com).<br \/>\n3. MUSIC: It sets the tone for a street fair or festival. High-energy sounds\u00a0and classic rock provide free entertainment that&#8217;s so good, you\u00a0don&#8217;t care whether it&#8217;s a\u00a0famous\u00a0band performing or a tribute.<br \/>\n4. FOOD: Empenadas, tacos, Greek salads, foot-long ears of roasted corn on the cob, and the newest frozen desserts in mango, banana, raspberry and lemon flavor are starters. Then there&#8217;s the beer garden to quench the thirst and finish off the meal.<br \/>\n5. ENTERTAINMENT: When\u00a0you hear screams you know there&#8217;s a carnival around the bend. From petting zoos to putting lessons offered by\u00a0Trump National Golf Course instructors, you just never know what you will find at a festival. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seecalifornia.com\/events\/california-events.html\">Keep posted <\/a>on upcoming fun around California.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seecalifornia.com\/images\/small\/rhetes.jpg\" alt=\"imgs\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After\u00a0attending Palos Verdes Street Fair &amp; Music Festival recently\u00a0there&#8217;s only one way to the summarize the experience: FUN!
