Winters Earthquake Festival Earthquakes aren’t usually the type of thing you center a town festival around. Of course, nobody told that to the town of Winters.
The Winters Earthquake Festival commemorates a magnitude 6.6 earthquake that shook the region at 3:15 a.m. on April 19, 1892. Every brick and stone building in town was leveled either by this temblor or by another magnitude 6.4 quake which struck two days later. We’re taking a moment look back at the history of the town of Winters - just outside Davis - and the devastation caused by the string of earthquakes in the late 1800s. The earthquake festival takes place the third Friday of August every year and features a number of attractions and events.
