Join us in 2012 on the weekend of April 13, 14 & 15 for the Second Annual Ridgecrest Desert Wildflower Festival in the High Desert City of Ridgecrest, California. The Festival expands on the Maturango Museum's long running Wildflower Show which combines nature's beautiful floral display in the surrounding foothills and the Mojave Desert with arts, crafts, performers, vendors, hand-on-activities, workshops, geocaching and tour guides. Ridgecrest is located in the Indian Wells Valley of Northeastern Kern County with a spectacular Eastern view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Visitors can also explore the stunning Red Rock Canyon and Trona Pinnacles geological formations.
