General Information
Welcome
Asparagus - San Joaquin County's most prestigious agricultural
product that inspired the creation of the Stockton Asparagus
Festival nineteen years ago. The Stockton Asparagus Festival is a
three-day, multi-event, food, and entertainment festival, which
celebrates asparagus.
The festival features two performing stages, an Asparagus Alley with
the best deep fried asparagus found anywhere, one of the finest
celebrity chef cooking demonstration kitchens, a fabulous Spear-Its
of the Valley wine and beer pavilion, a craft show, exhibits by more
than 70 food purveyors and 100 specialty merchandise vendors, and
much more! The Stockton Asparagus Festival is honored to work with the City
of Stockton to bring you this wonderful community event.
The All-America City Award is America's original and
most prestigious community recognition award. Since 1949, the
All-America City Award has encouraged and recognized civic
excellence, honoring communities of all sizes (cities, towns,
counties, neighborhoods and regions) in which community members,
government, businesses and non -profit
organizations work together to address critical local issues.
Stockton won the award in 1999 and 2004!
