Julian Woman’s Club Wildflower Show
The Julian Wildflower Show has been an historical event for more than 90 years. Because of Julian’s mountain valley location, bordering a national forest and close to the Anza-Borrego State Park, we have 855 species of plants within 25 miles of town, many of which were used by Native Americans. The Wildflower Show is meant to educate club members, local residents, out-of-town visitors and children about the botanical wealth of Julian and its vicinity.

fanny and the atta boysFirst Wednesdays: Fanny & The Atta Boys
Fanny & The Atta Boys are an up-and-coming band based in San Diego, California. Their sound is a blend of American roots, country swing, and depression-era jazz, with some classic blues styling thrown in for good measure. Their sets are generally lighthearted, funny, and peppy, but expect a few soul-stirring songs as well. At any rate, Fanny & the Atta Boys’ energy, soul, and sense of humor make every show a good time!

Doors open one hour prior to show time, and shows fill up fast, so early arrival is strongly recommended.
