Plan Now for Success at the 2026 California Strawberry Festival
May 16-17, 2026
Ventura County Fairgrounds
The California Strawberry Festival, now firmly established at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, is everyone’s
favorite early summer event, celebrating the region’s robust, world- leading strawberry industry with a weekend of food, fun, and fantastic entertainment for the entire family.
Now entering its milestone 40th year, the non-profit Festival draws more than 40,000 attendees from across Southern California by serving up a spectacular menu of strawberry culinary and beverage delights, live entertainment on three stages, children’s activities and special entertainment, fine arts & crafts vendors, carnival rides, the iconic “Strawberry Shortcake Experience”, and more.
The result is a perfect backdrop for successful sponsorship sales, marketing, branding, and sampling initiatives. Sponsors also help make it possible for the Festival to be a fundraising platform for more than 30 local non-profit organizations.
