The huge, annual festival dedicated to all things strawberry returns to Oxnard. Families can enjoy music, games, food, arts & crafts, and a kids’ area with rides and attractions—all in celebration of the region that produces more strawberries than anywhere else in the nation.
Highlights include celebrity cooking demonstrations, wacky treats (think strawberry pizza), pie eating and tart tossing contests. a Berry Best Dressed Baby contest, and rides and attractions
Two stages feature non-stop entertainment.
The festival is at the Strawberry Meadows of College Park. Free parking just off the 101 is available with a free shuttle service to the festival. Parking on site costs $10.
There’s lots to love when the heart shaped fruit takes center stage at the 34th Annual California Strawberry Festival May 18 and 19 at Strawberry Meadows of College Park in Oxnard (3250 South Rose Avenue). Beyond the live concerts, rides and attractions, 200+ arts & crafts, Strawberryland for Kids, contests and cooking demonstrations, it’s the lip-smacking food that takes berrilicious to new heights.
With 50 food booths where berries abound, the fruit that wears its seeds on the outside is served in a bevy of berry delicious forms. If you haven’t had strawberry pizza alongside a strawberry beer, you haven’t been to the Festival. Oh, did we mention strawberry funnel cake, strawberry crepes, chocolate dipped strawberries, strawberry nachos, deep-fried strawberries, strawberry tacos, strawberry smoothies and margaritas, the “build your own” strawberry shortcake tent, or strawberry popcorn?
Indulge guilt free, because with each bite the non-profit food booths reap 100% of sales for their causes. The formula has proven to be a fruitful enterprise. Over the past three decades more than $4.5 million dollars has benefited more than 20 southland charities.
