Marilyn Monroe was crowned Castroville's first Artichoke Queen back in 1948. If that does not glamorize this celebration of thorny vegetables, nothing will. In addition to crowning the latest of Ms. Monroe's successors, this two-day festival features a parade, a 10-kilometer race, arts and crafts, music, and of course, artichokes. The thistle like plant is prepared in more ways than you thought possible. The drive from San Francisco is about two hours. Take the Merrit Street exit (State Route 183) from State Route 1. See website for yearly particulars.
