Food Festival
Asparagus Festival
The abundance of asparagus crops in San Joaquin County set the scene for the Asparagus Festival—an extravaganza focused on all things green and garden grown (food, drinks, attractions, and more!) From deep-fried vegetable bundles to strangely flavored, yet tasty ice cream, it’s a must-see, must-taste, must-attend event! Stockton, StocktonAsparagusFestival.net
Wine Event
Lodi Wine & Chocolate Weekend
There’s nothing sweeter than Lodi Wine & Chocolate Weekend, where wine lovers gather to sample the region’s best varietals paired with delicious chocolate treats—think chocolate-covered strawberries, white chocolate sweets, and rich chocolate truffles. A slew of participating wineries make it easy to find new favorites. Lodi, LodiWineAndChocolate.com
Family Friendly Festival
Lodi Grape Festival
The Lodi Grape Festival is a family-friendly affair! The same attractions that draw adults to the annual event make it a must-see for kids, as well. Visit animal exhibits like the Lodi Serpentarium, get an up-close look at Tractor showcases, and test out carnival rides galore. The fun literally never ends (until closing time at least). Lodi, GrapeFestival.com
Casino
Jackson Rancheria
The Sierra foothills hold a goldmine of opportunity in its vast cascade of pine trees, much of which can be taken advantage of at Jackson Rancheria, a casino hotel that promises not just a good time on the slots, but events, live music, and state of the art services to look forward to, as well.
