Summary
The Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival is an annual event that features hot air balloon flights, wine tastings, food vendors, and live music. The festival is sponsored by Paula Casino Spa Resort. The balloons at the festival go up by heating the air inside, which creates lower density and allows them to lift off. Temecula is a great day trip or weekend getaway destination from LA. There is a store called One of a Kind Hat that sells a variety of hats for different occasions, and it has been in business for over 40 years. The store is owned by a mother and daughter team. The hats range from classic to Kentucky Derby-style fascinators, and they also sell traditional Sunday church hats. In Temecula, there is also a Banksy exhibit that showcases the works of the famous street artist. Banksy's art often has political themes and criticizes consumerism and capitalism.
