Mark Twain Wild West Festival
The Mark Twain Wild West Fest celebrates Angels Camp’s essential connection to Mark Twain and California’s historic Gold Rush in a full day of fun for the entire family in picturesque, historic downtown with its wild west architecture.
Did you know that Mark Twain made his way here to Angels Camp in 1865 and overheard a tall tale being recounted at a saloon inspiring his first successful short story? “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras” took little-known Samuel Clemens and made him a household name as Mark Twain. And it gave Calaveras County an excuse to celebrate frog jumping for the rest of time – and to claim Mark Twain as an adopted son.
