Coarsegold Tarantula Awareness Festival
Coarsegold Historic Village, 35300 Highway 41, Coarsegold, CA
Each October, tarantulas emerge from their burrows in the Sierra foothills to mate, and Coarsegold Historic Village marks the occasion with a full day of tarantula races, a live tarantula derby, and contests for hairiest legs and fastest pizza eating. Now in its 23rd year, the festival draws travelers heading up Highway 41 toward Yosemite.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
