Gaze Up/Around at Julian Natural Wonderfest

Tunes, art, and the great outdoors (as well as the Perseids) get the love at this mountain shebang.

IF YOU'RE THROWING A PARTY, and it is oriented around nature, and the marvels of the cosmos, and the incredible elements of Earth, you can't do better than planning your celebration to coincide with one of the best meteor showers of the year.

Are you ready to fête the Perseid Meteor Shower and so many of the terra-firma-tastic delights we live near and around?

Hello again Perseids, hello heart-good tunes, hello art and critters and sky and sunset, and hello to you, Julian, with your charms and history and pastries and devotion to our natural world, both below our feet and far above our heads.
