Chico's California Nut Festival

April: Time for the California Nut Festival

April is the perfect time to hold the California Nut Festival that honors one of Chico's most prolific crops and the coming of Spring to Northern California.

The rainy season is over, the hills and pastures have greened up, the days are warming, flowers are blooming, and everyone wants to be outdoors!.

This is a true foodie-destination festival - catering to food, wine, and beer lovers (need I mention Chico is home to the world-famous Sierra Nevada Brewery?) and showcasing food and beverages that are locally grown and/or produced in California.

Everyone has some connection to Chico!
