THE CALIFORNIA NUT FESTIVAL

COME TO CHICO FOR THE CALIFORNIA NUT FESTIVAL!

April is a wonderful time to hold California's Nut Festival in honor of one of Chico's most prolific crops and the coming of Spring!

If you're coming to Chico for the California Nut Festival, you'll want to compare hotel prices at HotelsCombined.

SPRINGTIME IN CHICO

Almonds in Bloom

Chico is quite literally surrounded by nut tree orchards, and a drive in the country during the early spring is a gorgeous sight to behold.

The almond blossoms are the most spectacular, but you'll also find walnut, pistachio, and pecan orchards in large numbers.

The California Nut Festival, one of newest of all California food festivals, takes place every year in April on the grounds of the historic Patrick Ranch Museum.

The Patrick Ranch is an exciting venue for the nut festival as the ranch and its buildings are being restored and utilized to create a living agriculture museum that showcases the evolution of agriculture in the Sacramento Valley.

The festival has taken shape as a grand event in its transition from a week-long series of events that were scattered over time and place to a one-day focal event that includes:

Local Food Tastings

Local beverage Tastings

Local Vendors art, gourmet food items, olive oils, farm products

Musical Entertainment

Art Show Art Barn

Agricultural Displays

Glenwood Mansion
