Looking for some foodie fun this weekend? Well, look no more! The Stockton Asparagus Festival is here! This three-day extravaganza in Downtown Stockton will feature fresh California-grown asparagus – 36,000 pounds of it were served last year – in many unique dishes, such as deep-fried asparagus, asparagus tri-tip sandwiches, asparagus burritos and asparagus pasta dishes, just to name a few.
The Asparagus Festival is rated one of the best food festivals in the west and is a crowd-pleaser for all ages. Adult tickets are $12, seniors (60+) and teens (13-17) are $7, and children under 12 are free. Food and drink tickets vary, so click here for more information on pricing and to purchase tickets online. The great thing is 100% of the festival proceeds go to local charities – eat local, give local.
Fun fact: Much of the asparagus is cut fresh daily and served right up from the delta to you. For more information on California Grown (client), take a peek at California Grown’s new video series featuring farmer profiles, recipes and more.
