One of the many things that I love about living in the Bay Area is all the different Festivals during the summer months. We have attended one when my BFF was here and last weekend we took our grandson to the Bayou Festival in Campbell. This weekend is the Mushroom Festival in Morgan Hill. I seem to recall going to this one a few years ago when I was just visiting Jeff. They had all kinds of mushroom dishes to taste. I remember that the entertainment was great. Lots of different cover bands. From now until the end of September, there would be a festival almost every weekend. We have to actually just pick the ones that we have not been because sometimes, they have almost the same vendors for food and same artisan/crafts. I usually check them out to see which bands will be featured in each of the festivals.
Mushroom Festival - Morgan Hill - May 26-27
Strawberry Festival - Arroyo Grande - May 26-27
Arts and Wine Festival - Sunnyvale - June 2-3
Oyster and Beer Festival - San Francisco - June 30
Garlic Festival - Gilroy - July 27-29
During the months of July and August, it will the different Music in the park series. There's one in downtown Sunnyvale on Wednesdays, downtown San Jose on Thursdays and downtown Los Gatos on Sundays. It all depends on what band will be performing. The people who attend these series usually have their routine and spots each week. They all have their comfy chairs, maybe a little table for snacks and drinks. Everyone is dancing to the music of the band who usually plays Top 40's, oldies and even latest dance music. It will be a fun summer and hope to lose some weight walking, dancing, tennis and of course golf. What do you love about your summer?
Next year, I am there for sure for the garlic festival. We might just have to bring our friend who is in love with garlic.
ReplyDeleteHow was the mushroom festival? I laughed when you said you were going because doesn't Jeff hate mushrooms?
