Fairs, comedians, and Juneteenth celebration give visitors plenty to enjoy in Tri-Valley
June’s mild weather in Pleasanton, Calif., makes it quite the pleasant location to escape for a vacation. With highs averaging in the mid-80s, very little rain and lows in the mid-50s, this is the time of the year provides perfect weather to enjoy the small-town charm of California’s Tri-Valley.
Our European-style boutique atmosphere at The Rose Hotel provides a calming ambience to help you recharge and enjoy your stay in the Tri-Valley area while choosing outings to the region’s many June events.
If you’re looking for a laugh, comedian Paula Poundstone takes the stage at Livermore’s Bankhead Theater at 8 p.m. On June 10.

Open Wednesday through Sunday and July 3 from 12 to 11 p.m., as well as 12 to 8 p.m. July 4, the county fair has something for everyone: concerts, food, stunt shows, horse racing, carnival rides, festivals, animal exhibits and more are all part of the experience.
Performers in the concert series include Quiet Riot, Gin Blossoms, Night Ranger and Jesse McCartney, and the stunt shows include very different themes.
