About
Cooked in California
Welcome! Cooked in California (cic) is a resource for festivals across the state, with a focus on culture and foods. Cultural festivals because there are many ethnic communities/neighborhoods/towns that surround California and all over America. From San Francisco’s Chinatown, Solvang’s Danish town, to Los Angeles’ Little Ethiopia and Olvera Street; these ethnic enclaves will host festivals sharing their traditional foods, music, dances, and costumes. Food festivals because of the state’s harvesting, seasons, or holidays dedicated to the specific foods (garlic, BBQ, avocado, etc.)
About Dinah
My passions are food, travel, culture, and nature. I enjoy a combination of my passions at these festivals without having to spend too much money. These are great events for the whole family where many are free to attend or are affordable. As a result, I get to taste the many flavors, visit many cities, and learn about cultures while being outdoors.
Goals:
- provide updated information and links to the events
- inform and encourage others of upcoming festivals
- learn about many cultures
