Annual Lemon Festival

This weekend get one last taste of summer with the annual Lemon Festival.  The family will love the entertainment, food, and games.  There is even a Kids' Fun Zone that is a favorite every year.   The festival celebrates the heritage of our town, as it used to be the Lemon Capital of the World.  The event will take place this Sunday August 12th from E to G Streets on Third Avenue.

Squeeze a day of fun into your summer by celebrating at the Lemon Festival! The free festival is returning for the sixteenth year to downtown Chula Vista on Sunday, August 12.

The event celebrates Chula Vista’s heritage as the once self-proclaimed "Lemon Capital of the World.” The community is welcome to join the festivities on Third Avenue, from E to G Streets, beginning at 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Every year, the event increases in popularity bringing up to 40,000 visitors to enjoy a full day of family fun and activities.

This year the agenda includes live entertainment on three stages, local and regional hand crafters and dozens of delicious international food options. Haul the largest lemon in your arsenal to the F Street Stage at 4 p.m. for the annual “Largest Lemon Contest.” New this year is the Scripps Health and Fitness Showcase at the E Street Stage where health screenings, fitness demos and contests will take place.
