VENTURA STAWBERRY FESTIVAL
Strawberry Festival weekend was a huge success n 2025! Over the two days, we served over 2,500 margaritas and will be receiving a check for over $4,300! Thank you to those who volunteered, particularly to those who worked both days with me. It was a little taxing after the two days, but well worth the effort.
The 2026 California Strawberry Festival will be held May 16–17, 2026, at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, offering strawberry-themed food, live entertainment, and carnival rides. Key highlights include over 40 food vendors, arts and crafts, and proceeds benefiting local charities. Tickets range from $8–$15, with free options for young children.
