Each January, the city and elementary school district sponsor the Winter Bird Festival which includes presentations, tours and bird watching.
In May, the chamber of commerce sponsors an annual Strawberry Festival that celebrates the fruit.
The Cosumnes River Preserve is home to hundreds of native bird species. Both guided and self-guided walking tours are available for bird watching and hiking.
The Galt Market sells flea market wares from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Tuesday and Wednesday.
