The success of the famed Martinez Beaver festival lies in creating an encouraging model that other cities want to emulate. This has taken place in San Luis Obispo, Colorado, and last year memorably in Chicago.
This means that when you now google “Beaver Festival” you get an array of all of them. With some reference to Martinez mixed in. And some of them not even from 2026. There are even other unrelated events using the name just because it sounds cool.
Let’s hope at least a few folk find their way to the festival this year!
