Originated in 1963 to create a living history for schoolchildren and their families, the Original Renaissance Faire has grown into an annual event that hosts more than 200,000 participants. The faire is comprised of 20 acres of entertainment, including 13 stages of various shows and comedies, jousting tournaments and the Queen and her glittering court. Guests can partake in true Renaissance activities, such as arts and crafts, delicious foods and spirits, music, dance, rides, and games. Many who attend come dressed in time-period costumes and, though not required, it certainly enhances the magic. Entertainment this year will feature several new and exciting shows like Acrobatix, a crowd-pleasing two-person comedy circus guaranteed to be high energy and highly memorable. Aerial dancers, action theater, featured characters and stage shows are just a fraction of the cultural diversity you will find.

Planning a San Diego picnic can be no picnic–especially for a romantically inclined couple or anyone who wants to celebrate a special occasion outdoors. There’s finding the right location, hoping it’s available when you want it, creating a menu, packing the food and utensils, lugging it all to the picnic site, and cleaning up after it’s all over.
If you’ve ever wished you could just leave the duties to someone besides an expensive caterer, your picnic prayers have been answered. Pop Up San Diego will do all of the above and more. You just show up. Sunset toasts on the beach, marriage proposals, small get-togethers – this El Cajon-based company will take care of all the details. Their motto: “We do the work, you take the credit!”

A daytrip to any of the five islands that comprise Channel Islands National Park is a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of urban life. But for some people, a day isn’t long enough.
If you’re a hardy adventurer who wants to spend more time soaking in the wonders of these close yet remote ecosystems, you can reserve an overnight campsite managed by the National Park Service.
Year-round campgrounds are on Anacapa, eastern Santa Cruz, western Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara islands. There are no entrance fees to visit the park, but the park service charges $15 per night per campsite.
