About the California Avocado Festival ®

California's Largest FREE music festival!

The California Avocado Festival Board of Directors would like to thank all who support AVOFEST™! Your support through sponsorship, volunteering, visiting or just coming to enjoy the delicious avocados is the force behind our efforts.

We are a 501c3 created to help support other service organizations, so thank you to everyone for your continued enjoyment of the California Avocado Festival!

Our 30th ANNUAL CALIFORNIA AVOCADO FESTIVAL was so successful that it surpassed many of our previous accomplishments! In prior years, we have had over 100,000 visitors over the course of the three-day weekend. This year, it was over 110,000!!!

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.
