California Events 2026

California is big enough that fall looks different in every corner. Down south, Oktoberfest stretches into November in Big Bear Lake and Huntington Beach, and Julian’s apple country holds a harvest fest until mid-November. Up north, Petaluma and Morgan Hill keep their pumpkin patches open into early November.

Veterans Day brings parades in San Diego and Bakersfield. Renegade Craft fills San Francisco with makers on November 14 and 15, and Pleasanton hosts a Goodguys car show the same weekend.
