San Bernardino welcomes its share of bands that are on tour, and when they make their stop at the San Manuel Amphitheater, be ready for a great show. This entertainment venue has been a longstanding live music benchmark in the community, and while it isn't the fanciest or most polished place to see a show, the rugged and somewhat rough surroundings only add to the experience of seeing your favorite rock band take the stage and rattle the walls a bit.
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.
