Endless Recreation, More Things To Do Than Days To Live.
 

From Dodger Dogs to classical music concerts, there is always something to do when you live in Ventura County. Entertainment and arts are all around us. For the sport-oriented, you can either root for your favorite teams such as the L.A. Dodger's, Los Angeles Lakers, L.A. Kings, or the California Angels or actually get involved in one of our area's sports programs. Each city has its own parks and recreation schedules which include softball among other activities. Fast-pitch baseball is even available to those that still have "it" at a semi-professional level. There are teams in different cities within the county that compete against each other.

There are also parks and outdoor areas for every type of enthusiast. From hiking, camping and hunting, golf links, public tennis courts, fishing - both fresh and saltwater - and, of course, being next to the ocean, you can't forget surfing. Yes, even just to barbeque and play, we have them all. Some links are included below.

For the young at heart there is Disneyland and California Adventure, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios and Magic Mountain.

For those who want to stay a little closer to home you can enjoy choices from a plethora of festivals such as St. Patrick's Day, Scandinavian Festival, Conejo Valley Days, Point Mugu Naval Air Show, Ojai Renaissance Fair, Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament, Ventura Chamber Music Festival, Cinco de Mayo, California Strawberry Festival, Cajun/Creole Festival, Orange and Citrus Festivals, Ojai Music Festival, Fourth of July, Pleasant Valley Days, Lake Casitas Inter-tribal Powwow, Maritime Days, Simi Valley Days, 16th de Septiembre, the California Beach Festival and the Ventura County Fair, to name only a few.

The performing arts can be found throughout the county and nearby areas. From the small 97 seat Santa Paula Theater Center, to some of the mid-sized venues at the Moorpark and Ventura College Theatres to the larger performing centers such as Libbey Bowl in Ojai, Oxnard Performing Arts Center, Majestic Ventura Theatre and Fred Kavli Theatre for the Performing Arts at the Civic Arts Plaza in Thousand Oaks. Here, as well as in Santa Barbara, are some of my favorite local live events. First run Broadway shows and large musical events can be found in several Southland venues such as The Pantages Theatre, which is currently running The Lion King, The Greek Theatre, The Wiltern, The Universal Amphitheatre and Staples Center.

Strolls along the marina and boardwalk are other things one can do in Ventura County along with great dining and shopping experiences. Libraries abound in every city and museums can also be enjoyed such as viewing a section of the Berlin Wall at the Reagan Library and Museum in Simi Valley. Other notable museums are the Carnegie Art Museum in Oxnard, California Oil Museum in Santa Paula and the Ventura County Museum of History and Art. These are just a few of the nearly three-dozen museums within the county - ranging from Native American culture, antique planes and actual whole city blocks with restored architecture. Asian culture can be found at the Santa Barbara Museum and the world-renowned Getty Museum is just a short drive away.
