California Strawberry Festival

Paying tribute to one of the county's most bounteous crops, this much-loved festival draws thousands of visitors each year. The fresh, plump and ruby red strawberries are delicious in one of a kind dishes like award-winning shortcake and margaritas! Live bands play classic rock, Latin funk and country-influenced tunes, while Strawberryland caters to kids' interests with all sorts of entertainments and performers. Arts and crafts venues make for leisurely browsing, and the wealth of food booths ably accommodates hungry patrons. In addition, there are strawberry-related competitions, including one where participants vie to create the most outstanding strawberry shortcake dessert. A must-visit!
