OPPOSITE:ORANGE COUNTY CVB; RMA PHOTOGRAPHY INSIDER'S TIP » The MISSION SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO is the city's cultural hub, offering more than mission tours and religious services. The mission's lovely courtyard lawns are transformed into a rockin' summer concert venue with performances by cover bands mimicking famed groups including the Rolling Stones, Chicago and the Eagles. The ANNUAL BATTLE OF THE MARIACHIS brings in top-notch bands from throughout Southern California, and families gather for campfires, overnight fun, and a pancake breakfast during the ADVENTURE SLEEPOVER in July. Swarms of swallows are greeted with the RETURN OF THE SWALLOWS celebration in March, and the mission's historic bells ring out during CHRISTMAS AT THE MISSION, the same night as the city's tree lighting ceremony. Check the mission's website for special events taking place during your visit. missionsjc.com
