Date Festival Arrives With the Departure of Storm
Supervisor Wilson will officially open the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival this morning, beginning at 9:30. Supervisor Wilson, who’s also a noted expert on weather, has predicted that opening day weather would be MUCH better than whatever that was that hit us on Thursday.
Gates officially open at 10, following the blessing of the dates, the date shakes, and the hijinks that always happen in front of the Date Festival Gates.
Don’t miss this year’s headliner entertainment:
Saturday, February 16
Los Tiranos del Norte
Sunday, February 17
The Blues Traveler
Monday, February 18
The Fair runs through Sunday Feb. 24, with gates opening each day at 10, closing at 10 weeknights, midnight on Friday and Saturday.
Admission to the Fair includes the headliner enttertainment, daily events and ground acts. www.datefest.org
