Angels Camp, CA…Returning to historical, downtown Angels Camp! The inimitable, immersive, description-defying, high-camp and whimsical Mark Twain Wild West Fest promised a living interpretation and celebration of the 19th Century Wild West Gold Rush-era of the Sierra Nevada Mother Lode. Featured were multiple areas of non-stop music, comedy and entertainment; roving street performers, musicians, honky-tonk piano players and dance hall girls; beer, wine and food; gun-slinging cowboys and outlaws and shoot-out reenactments, as well as villains and damsels in distress; gold miners, their encampment and gold panning demonstrations; and street vendors of all descriptions including arts and crafts, food, beer and wine. Interactive activities and contests were available for kids too!
