Pacifica loves its fog and has a festival that&#8217;s all over it. Oakdale does a festival about testicles &#8212; and Watsonville does, as well! From bathtub to bed races, cockroach or outhouse runs, there&#8217;s a festival for just about anything you can imagine.<\/p>\n<p>Unusual festivals in California include Undie Runs, Liar&#8217;s Contest, Earthquake Festival, Bigfoot Days, Flying Saucer Contest, Squirrel Roundup, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seecalifornia.com\/festivals\/california-glass-pumpkin-patch.html\">Glass Pumpkin Patches<\/a> and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the name alone can draw a crowd &#8212; like BreastFest. It&#8217;s actually a Marin County beer festival to raise funds for breast cancer treatments, though the name of the event is certainly an eye-catcher.<\/p>\n<p>We LOVE these wild &amp; crazy, kooky festivals and can&#8217;t get enough.
