It takes place one weekend only every year in May when the strawberries are harvested. Last year they had 60,000 visitors and this year they're expecting even more.Click here for more info.
Here we built our own strawberry shortcake.

Choo choo train time.
A perk about the festival is that kids 4 years and under are free.
And they have a number of activities for kids. Including a magic show, clown show, music, and face painting.
(Although Astrid is still afraid of clowns. No matter how much she says to the contrary that she's not afraid of clowns anymore - the moment she sees one she runs in the opposite direction. I don't know what it is that's so scary. Maybe just a face that's painted. I was thinking about taking her to the circus tomorrow. Circus Vargas is in town, but I told her if she's afraid of clowns we can't go because there will be lots of clowns there. Astrid assured me she'll be fine and she's not afraid. We'll see.)
My little strawberry. Astrid thought it was hilarious that the strawberry on her shirt was wearing socks and shoes.
Taking a ride on the merry go round.
Expect long lines, but once it's your turn you tend to forget how long you had to wait.
All of the rides inside the festival are free.

I love your blog.
I especially liked the strawberry festival.
I think you should inform the moms in my Oxnard community about such events in the future.
