Orange Blossom Festival

This weekend, Riverside -- and Inland Southern California in general -- celebrates its heralded citrus heritage with the annual "Orange Blossom Festival."

The 2-day event harkens back to Riverside's "Orange Day" celebrations of the early 1900s, a time when orange groves ruled the local landscape and fragrant orange blossoms ruled the air, all in the name of the world's sweetest navel orange -- the Washington-Riverside navel.

So, put on a pair of shorts, grab those hats and sunglasses and head on down to historic downtown Riverside for a weekend of music, food, history and fun.
