Whether
you want to head to California for your Spring Break and want to check

restful vacation, or go to college in California and want to find out
your Spring Break dates, we have all you need right here.
In 2016,
the majority of Californian colleges have Spring Break throughout
March, much like most other places in the United States. A few colleges
have their time off in late-February and a few in early-April. Be sure
to cross-reference with your college calendars if you're looking for
specific dates for a college rather than a ballpark. Dates can and do
change, but for the most part, these dates will be correct.
