The Goleta Lemon Festival returned to Girsh Park in Goleta for their biggest and best year yet! One of the most anticipated events of the year, the Goleta Lemon Festival celebrates Goleta's heritage as a preeminent lemon growing region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The two day festival featured sumptuous lemon-flavored treats, live entertainment and numerous arts and crafts vendors. While kids enjoyed carnival rides in the Kids Zone, adults relaxed in the ever popular "Lemon Lounge," a shaded area with tables, chairs, beer, wine and big screen TVs playing weekend sports. This year also included the Goleta Fall Classic Car and Street Rod Show and the ever popular "Safety Street".
The Goleta Chamber would like to thank all of our sponsors and volunteers who helped put on another great festival!
There is always something new for local families and visitors, so be sure to mark your calendars for next year's event on
September 12th and 13, 2020!
