Each year, on the third weekend in May, Oxnard California is home to the
'California Strawberry Festival'. It's been many years since I last attended this event, but was excited to hear when a few friends would be going. I tagged along and experienced the sweet deliciousness this festival had to offer.
In addition to the strawberries, the festival is a place to see and purchase local arts and crafts, listen to live music, and eat a variety of festival foods. But let's face it, I went for the strawberries! There was a wide array of strawberry dishes which included strawberry beverages (smoothies, wine, lemonade, margaritas, etc.), chocolate covered strawberries, crepes, strawberry nachos, strawberry pizza, strawberry covered funnel cakes, and there was even a booth to build your own strawberry shortcake.
Chinatown, Los Angeles, CA. In the summertime, Chinatown hosts a sort of "block party" in the central and west plazas. This event had several activities which included cooking demos for Chinese food, live music, shops, and a many, many food trucks. Spend about an hour here and have dinner in Chinatown. It's pretty interesting, but I wished there were more activities.
