Coarsegold Tarantula Festival
Head to Coarsegold, California on October 27 for a creepy-crawly good time celebrating this oft feared and misunderstood spider and leave the razor at home–the Hairy Leg Contest is one of the highlights of the day. Unleash your inner wordsmith at the tarantula poem contest and watch in awe as the tarantulas do their tarantula thing at the live tarantula derby.
