School’s out officially for summer and teens are looking out for the biggest, coolest things to do for the summer.

Since Fairfield will be scorching hot, it’s worth going down to a water park in Concord or Sacramento.

What most teens want is amusement and friends, so why not go enjoy yourself at a spa or, better yet, grab some friends and plan a trip to Hawaii? Too expensive? Stay local and maybe go to Santa Cruz for a few days.

If you plan to stay really local, or you need to entertain relatives from out of the area, this community is best known for their tours of the Jelly Belly Factory and the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. There are also many shopping opportunities and unique dining experiences, including Monsoon Burgers and Dave’s Giant Hamburgers along with La Cabana and Chez Soul. Want to take your guests – or yourself – somewhere fun? Check out Driven Raceway, Edwards Cinema or Scandia.

Many other popular destinations are less than an hour away, including the famous Napa Valley, the Western Railway Museum, Sonoma Raceway, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and beautiful nature trails like the Grizzly Island.

Looking for something that is just a summer event to make the season special? Check out the Northern California Pirate Festival on Saturday and Sunday, June 16 and 17 in Vallejo (https://www.norcalpiratefestival.com/).
