The Gold Country is most pleasant in spring, when the wildflowers are in bloom, and in fall. Summers are hot: temperatures of 100°F are common. Sacramento winters tend to be cool with occasionally foggy and/or rainy days. Throughout the year Gold Country towns stage community and ethnic celebrations. In December many towns deck themselves out for Christmas. Sacramento is the site of the annual Jazz Jubilee over Memorial Day weekend and the California State Fair in August and early September. East of the town of Sutter Creek, flowers bloom on Daffodil Hill in March.
