February 2018 Events Calendar for California
A lot of people associate February with Valentine’s Day; there is an assumption that nothing else really goes on in the second month of the year apart from that, but this is a misconception. There’s a lot more to the second month of the year beyond flowers, chocolate, and candlelit dinners. Our California Limousine Service has therefore decided to compile a list of awesome events set to take place in California this February. No matter what your interests are, there is something for everyone in the Golden State.
Riverside County Fair
We have mentioned that February isn’t just about Valentine’s Day and going on dates, but if you are interested in going on one, this Coachella Valley event is just the place to be in California. This extravaganza honors sweet local date palms and local cuisine. You will get to enjoy creamy date shakes to cool yourself off in the desert, witness exhilarating camel and ostrich races, and cheer on your favorite drivers at the demolition and monster truck contests. There are plenty of activities in this county fair that guarantee you will make memories that will last a lifetime. So grab that special someone or even your best friend and head on down to the Riverside County Fair this month. This event is set to kick off on the 16th of February lasting all the way to the 25th.
Valentine Wine Walk
Head on down to San Francisco for the annual ‘Union Street Has a Crush on You Valentine Wine Walk’. The walk begins on Union Street and ends on Lombard Street on the 9th of February between 4 pm and 8 pm. This exciting walk will feature merchants who will offer participants samples of wine and special treats and accompaniments. Advanced tickets to this walk go for only $25 while on-site tickets go for $30 so if you are a wine enthusiast, there is really no reason to miss this event.
First Friday Art Walk
This art event goes down on the 2nd of February in Oakland. The Oakland Art Murmur is held on the first Friday of each month and is meant to promote local art and foster an appreciation for local artists. During this event, galleries across the city open their doors to the public and showcase the talents of home-grown artists. The exhibitions feature lectures, gallery tours, artist talks, readings, and musical performances; there is a little something for everyone regardless of what form of art you like. This event has promoted art in Oakland, and over the years the city has grown into a popular artist destination.
53rd Annual Colusa Farm Show
The Colusa Farm Show comes back again for the 53rd year in a row, and in over half a century, the show has been a one-stop shopping center for all kinds of farm services and produce. The main purpose of this event, however, is to inform farmers of the latest in modern farming techniques and equipment. This show attracts farmers and agriculturists from all over the world who all come here seeking insight on how to better their crafts. Colusa Farm Show is a two-day event that is scheduled to run from the 6th to the 8th of February.
