California Avocado Festival ® goes live October 2 & 3, 2021 on Linden Field

What’s the news on the street about this year’s California Avocado Festival? Well here is the low down… Coming to you from the heart of California’s avocado production, from a town that is bursting with a vibrant community, this year our California Avocado Festival is going to be LIVE!

The 35th annual Avocado Festival “Back to the Roots'' will start October 2nd on the Linden Field in the center of Carpinteria. Nestled between the community’s Tomol park that celebrates our Chumash identity, and the newly installed boardwalk across naturally preserved dunes overlooking the beach, this festival is sure to be one to remember.

The event will have established social distancing and safety protocols following the regulations of the city, county, and state guidelines. While this event will be a scaled-down version of our previous festivals, it is sure to be just as entertaining and impactful. We are taking these distanced guidelines as an opportunity to highlight local vendors.

We will have two stages that will feature over twenty local bands and performances. Our two beer and wine gardens and various food vendors will make sure to keep you kicking throughout the whole festival. We are bringing back classics like juicy tri-tip, crispy taquitos, zesty guacamole, and refreshing avocado ice
cream.

We will facilitate community activities like the strong arm contest and guacamole
contest and have high hopes of bringing back the Ferris wheel so you can take in
Carpinteria’s beauty from above.

The Avocado Festival will also host a special VIP tent sponsored by different celebrated individuals throughout the duration of the event (stay tuned on how you can win passes to the VIP tent!). Carpinteria is getting back to its roots in this time of resilience, and the Avocado Festival is going to do just that!

Our participating Non-Profits and Service Organizations were able to generate over $100,000 worth of funds that went back to the community through their initiatives.

Our free doggie day care had over 100 dogs kept happy, cool, and entertained while their owners enjoyed the festival! And once again, we were able to reach our goal of Zero Waste! With special thanks to E. J. Harrison.
