Mariachi at Olvera Street

Los Angeles, CA -- Mexican musicians perform mariachi for restaurant patrons at Olvera Street. Although all the instruments are acoustic, the melodic sound filled the city block with a wave of joyous music.

The Pumkin Festival

Pomona, Ca -- Each year around this time, Cal Poly Pomona, Collage of Agriculture opens its barn doors to the public to sort through thousands of pumpkins. Each pumpkin is $5.00, or five for $20.00.

If you live near LA, they are open again today (Sunday) from 8:00am to 5:00PM. They also have a petting zoo, homespun entertainment, and activities for both kids and adults! If you like fresh squeezed lemonade, funnel cake and kettle corn, you don't have to go to the fair, it's all here.

They also have a terrific farmers market run by the students.

Best of all, it's FREE to get in! For more information, click on The Pumpkin Festival.
