28th Annual Lemon Festival

About the Event

South Bay’s most anticipated summer event is returning to Downtown Chula Vista on Saturday, August 16th, from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm! The 28th Annual Lemon Festival will have Third Avenue bursting into color, offering a tangy mix of lemon-inspired treats, live entertainment, and fun for the whole family. The streets will be buzzing with the fresh flavors and sunshine that have made this festival a local favorite.
In celebration of Chula Vista’s citrus heritage, this year’s Lemon Festival will transform the community into a zesty wonderland, packed with mouthwatering food and drinks, two stages of live music, a lemon cook-off competition, arts and crafts vendors, and plenty of opportunities for photo ops with the one and only, Tarty the Lemon. The Little Lemons kids’ area will also bring joy to young festival-goers with games, crafts, and activities in Memorial Park.
