Rim Nordic is an attraction that challenges you to not only enjoy its natural surroundings, but also to get back to the basics. You will find this retreat in the heart of the San Bernardino National Forest. Rustic is really the only way to describe the area, as there are always plenty of visitors to the area year round. In the winter months, the resorts are full of activity thanks to the many skiers and snowboarders and the warmer months are equally as active, due to the mountain bikers and hikers who enjoy Rim Nordic's challenging terrain.

The bright flurry of violins and the ominous timbre of the cellos are just a few of the sounds you will hear once the conductor raises his baton over the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra. This highly accomplished group of musicians works hard to bring the best of the classics to audiences in San Bernardino year round. Some of their most notable presentations have been the Orchestral Treasures series, Tchaikovsky's Finest, as well as various seasonal favorites like The Nutcracker.

The fun and down-home charm of a county fair is alive and well thanks to the San Bernardino County Fair that runs from late July to early August. This family-fun event features everything from prize pigs to excellent live music, games, and lots of other great activities.
