The culture in the USA tends to be very dependent on where you are. In the larger cities, it's going to be more of the formal cultural stuff you are used to. In the more rural areas the culture tends to center around local events and quieter things.
Unfortunately, those rural areas tend to also be the more 'clannish' areas. It may take them a while to think of you as a local.
Of course, there's always the issue that TV is replacing local culture with pureed culture-like pablum and force feeding it to everyone.
