Vista Strawberry Festival 2026

🍓 Vista Strawberry Festival
📍 Historic Downtown Vista, CA
📅 Saturday, May 24, 2026
💰 Free admission

One of North County San Diego's most iconic annual festivals returns for another year of strawberry-fueled fun. The entire historic downtown Vista transforms into a massive street fair with over 400 vendor booths, live music on multiple stages, a classic car show, a kids zone with rides and games, and of course — endless strawberry treats. We're talking strawberry shortcake, chocolate-dipped strawberries, strawberry lemonade, strawberry funnel cake, and things you didn't even know could be strawberry-flavored. Local artisans and makers set up shop alongside food vendors, making this equal parts shopping event and food festival. The festival has been running for decades and draws over 100,000 visitors. Arrive early, wear sunscreen, and bring your appetite.
