The San Joaquin Asparagus Festival kicked off in Stockton at noon on Friday. There's live music, carnival games, monster truck rides - along with all kinds of asparagus dishes, from fried asparagus to asparagus ice cream.

It will run at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds all weekend.

Concerts in the Park officially returns to downtown Sacramento on Friday evening as well. The popular event at Cesar Chavez Park features live bands and DJs, but it was canceled the past two years because of the pandemic.
