Festival Friday - That's how you know summer is here

My MIL gave me a clipping from a news paper about the upcoming festival and then while on the bus to the Casino, I noticed an ad for the the Arts and Wine Festival on Berryessa Rd. somewhere in San Jose.  That's how I know that summer is really around the corner.  If I remember it correctly I had featured all the different festivals we have and today I just want to go by where we have been in the past year and where we might go this year.
  • Mushroom Mardi Gras Festival in Morgan Hill - May 25 &  26
  • Garlic Festival in Gilroy - July 26 to 28
  • A la carte and Wine Festival in Mountain View - May 4
  • Rivers of Chocolate in Saratoga - April 28   
  • Sausalito Art Festival - August 31
  • Artichoke Festival in Watsonville - May 18 & 19
  • Strawberry Festival in Roseville - May 11 & 12
  • Maker Faire Festival in San Mateo - May 18 & 19
  • Taco Festival in San Jose - May 25
  • Campbell Boogie on the Bayou - May 18 & 19 
Of course if you are up to listening to live bands, getting together with friends, having a bite or two and maybe even a drink, then you will enjoy the free Music in the park/street.
  • Sunnyvale summer music series - Every Wednesday from June 19 to Aug 28     
  • Mountain View music downtown - Every Thursday also from June to August
  • Los Gatos music in the park - Every Sunday from June 16 to August 25   
Some of the dates have not been posted for other festivals in the bay area as well as other surrounding community.  As you can see, you could go almost every weekend but then, who is going to do the house chores and the yard work.  That's why we would only pick one or two that we really like to check out.  Since my sister will be here in May, I am sure she will be interested in going to at least a couple.  Let me guess - Mushroom and Artichoke Festival.
