About the event
Join us at the 2027 Vista Strawberry Festival! The year 2027 will see us at 16 years and still “growing”. Vista is still home to many strawberry fields, and takes pride in the fact that it hosts the only festival in San Diego County that celebrates everything "Strawberry". Come enjoy our celebration of the “berry” as we welcome 500 vendors, a 5K certified run, 1 mile and quarter mile kid's runs, unique strawberry dessert creations, pie eating competition, costumes and contests, carnival rides, music on 5 stages, international selection of foods, beer garden, artisan court, and much more on (now!) 6 streets of the beautifully renovated and historic downtown Vista! The Strawberry Festival is by far the largest community event of the year for Vista with an estimated 90,000 in attendance - join us at this "BERRY" special celebration!
