Who says there isn’t anything to do in Bakersfield? In keeping with this week’s theme of activities you can do beyond the court this summer, we’ve found some useful event websites you can reference when you need to keep the summer boredom at bay.
If you’re reading this on your smartphone or tablet, chances are you’re already familiar with Facebook’s event page, linking you to nearby upcoming events based on your likes and interests. By all means, Facebook is a great way to get connected to what’s happening in town, but if you need to break out of your bubble and see what else is out there we’ve got you covered with a few local links worth checking out.
BakersfieldEvents is a great place to start. It has a wide range of venues and activities to choose from, from Live music and Karaoke to Taco Tuesday. They even list upcoming Farmers Markets with locally grown produce. If you’re looking for something short term or last minute when plans go awry, this isn’t a bad option to check for backup solutions.
Bakersfield.com offers more than just local news. They also have Events and Entertainment sections that you can browse through with offerings like local day camps, paint nights, and other community events for people of all ages. They also have a good sorting option, so you can filter through events based on date/time, ages, budget, and more.
Lastly, Eventful is a good resource to rely on for your concert and live entertainment needs. If it’s hosted at the Rabobank, Majestic Fox Theater, or is a major concert performance, Eventful will probably have it listed. They also have good coverage in areas outside of Bakersfield, so if you feel like getting out of town, Eventful has some solutions for you to consider.
Considering all these options, plus the countless other pages and resources for things to do around town, there’s no reason why your social calendar would have to be lacking this season. Now, get out there and enjoy some local events in your community!
