Head to Mission San Juan Capistrano on St. Joseph’s Day for the annual Return of the Swallows Celebration, where the historic bells ring out alongside live mariachi music, flamenco dance, and Native American storytelling. The day weaves together community presentations, a virtual lecture on the swallows’ current state, and the tale of the Swallows Legend, with complimentary tours, a kids’ craft station, and coloring pages rounding out the family-friendly program. It’s a warm, cultural way to mark the season’s arrival right at the mission.
