World of Coffee launches today in San Diego and there are so many things, too many to keep track of them all. But try me anyway. And our friends at Califia Farms are certainly committed to that goal. They’re packed with fireworks, suspensions, knockdowns, art activations, and all kinds of fun both inside and outside the convention center throughout the weekend.
And they’re already starting. So add these events at Califia Farms to your bucket list.
