Here’s our Summer 2017 Festival Guide! As always, each weekend has at least 5 or 6 festivals to choose from, if not waaaaay more. All your favorites are still here — the artichoke, tomato, garlic festival, peach, strawberry, apple, and apricot festivals. In addition to crawdad, soy, and beer festivals. Every city in the Bay Area has their annual art & wine festivals, of course. And festivals dedicated to classic cars, hot air balloons, motorsports, and sand sculpture.
It’s going to be a busy summer! Enjoy!
