The California Avocado Festival, a three-day celebration of Carpinteria’s favorite fruit, will bring 60 bands, 50 arts and crafts and commercial vendors, and 15 food vendors to town from Oct. 4 to 6.
In preparation for a party that draws over 50,000 guests, our Public Works Department will implement street closures beginning on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 5:30 a.m. Roadways will reopen to traffic on Sunday, Oct. 6 by 10 p.m. The closure will span Linden Avenue from Carpinteria Avenue to Sixth Street. Side streets through this stretch of Linden are closed to all but local traffic; drivers will still be able to access businesses like Smart & Final.
Parking will be available at Carpinteria High School, where festival goers can catch a $5 shuttle. Find festival details, including a schedule of events, at https://www.avofest.org/
