It doesn’t get much better than this.
A high of 77 degrees today and 80 degrees on Sunday are expected in Manteca.
Downtown streets will be lined with vendors pedaling everything from craft items and clothes to sunglasses and unique trinkets.
Street fair food will be in abundance.
There’s free entertainment from tunes to belly dancing.
And if crowds are anything like they have been in the past 20 years, people watching will be at a premium.
