VENTURA, Calif. - CuisineWire -- The 39th Annual California Strawberry Festival is set for Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, at the Ventura County Fairgrounds (10 W.

Over 50 food and beverage vendors will serve a variety of treats, including strawberry-themed nachos, chocolate-dipped strawberries, strawberry funnel cakes, strawberry kabobs, strawberry popcorn, and strawberry margaritas and beer.

Two stages will showcase bands performing reggae, Latin, rock, country and R&B music. Strawberryland for Kids includes its own Family Fun Stage with music, magic and puppet shows, plus the Berry Best Baby Parade where children from infants to age 4 can display strawberry-themed costumes. The area also offers carnival rides and interactive activities including Wild Science.
Nearly 150 artisans from throughout California will display original works including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, toys, accessories, clothing, photography, textiles, jewelry and specialty foods. Many items are strawberry themed.
A new festival layout will be introduced this year with a music stage moved near the main entrance and a single food court with added seating.
An estimated 1.5 million strawberries will be consumed over the two-day festival. Strawberries are the number one crop in Ventura County ($733 million in value in 2023) and those grown in Ventura and Oxnard are considered by many to be the best-tasting and juiciest in the world. Ventura County strawberry growers will be selling fresh-picked, vine-ripened strawberries at the festival in 3-packs, half trays and full trays.
