The 30th Annual California Strawberry Festival!

Posted on the 23 April 2013 by Jamie Gall @50states50wines

I love strawberries, and now that I am in California I love the fact that they’re grown so close.  When strawberry season comes around not only are the prices super cheap on strawberries, but I also have the opportunity to go strawberry picking if I wanted to.

With that being said this post is not a sponsored post, however, one reader will have a chance to win a family four pack of tickets to the California Strawberry festival.

This year the California Strawberry Festival is taking place May 18th and 19th in Oxnard, California at the strawberry meadows of college park.  There are nearby shuttle stations that will drop you off and pick you up at the Strawberry Festival.

Last year, if you remember when I went, was my first time at the festival and I had so much fun.  From strawberry infused wine to strawberry nachos to strawberry shortcake there was a little something for everyone.

During the festival you will be able to watch the final two contestants of the Berry Blast recipe contest.  The winner will win a family vacation getaway.  And it was so much fun watching last year as they created their recipes.  The best part was getting to try them afterwards.

And for those that love rides, have no fear, there are plenty to take part in while there:

Live entertainment is available on the music stage to sit down with your favorite strawberry foods and enjoy the music happening around you.

There are also different art and craft vendor booths to walk through and take a peek at fun items.  Shop your heart out.

And for those that love strawberries, have no fear, you’ll have the opportunity to buy crates of them at the festival.  Don’t miss this fun festival that takes place every year.

This year marks their 30th Anniversary Celebration.
