Fallbrook Avocado Festival

Avocado Car RaceThe annual Avocado Festival draws thousands of people to our quiet village each year. It is definitely a day for the “wearing of the green,” as green is the most prominent color found in the booths, worn in the form of hats, and in the form of a signature T-shirt.

Come prepared to visit the many craft and food booths—you can never go hungry at the Avocado Festival. Colorful booths line Main and Alvarado Street featuring unique clothing, hats, arts, crafts, jewelry, and farm-fresh produce for purchase. A variety of bands and other live entertainment are offered for the pleasure of festival-goers. Beer gardens and numerous food vendors cater to every whim.

Activities abound with cooking competitions (come prepared with your best guacamole recipe), as well exhibitions showcasing local talent. There will even be a race where the cars are made from avocados!

If you have never seen a giant, inflatable avocado, just come to the Avocado Festival and see it in living color—green, that is!
