Top 5 Reasons to attend the California Strawberry Festival
Once again at the city of Oxnard was home for the California Strawberry Festival. The day was hot, perfect for some strawberry drinks to refresh us. We also found lots of activities to take part one and off course we got to try delicious strawberry dishes.

1. The rides

If you are planning on taking your kids to the California Strawberry rest assured that they will have plenty of activities to be entertained with. Not only you can find games available but there are also carnival rides like the Silver Streak, Go Gator, Sky Fighter, Truckin USA, and more.

I did get to get out to the Strawberry Festival in Oxnard one time. I really did have a good time out there but it was so long ago and it seems like it was a whole different era. I know it wasn't though. I never got to try it when I was there but I really wanted to try that strawberry pizza. It looked amazing.

We love attending festivals in Colorado. I do not think we have a strawberry one here. Looks so fun. Our favorite one is the Peach festival! YUMMY!!!

Easily my favorite fruit, and most favorite to add to everything that I can think of. I wish that the midwest had a strawberry festival for me to visit. If not, I'll make sure that I visit your neck of the woods in order to take part in one.

The food demo and contest and the food would be the primary reasons for foodies to attend this exciting event. The strawberry funnel cake looks absolutely delicious! The strawberry beer seems better as a refreshing drink when iced on a summer day.

Well, you honestly had me at strawberries. They're one of my very favorite foods in the world. I would go for the fresh berries alone, but the strawberry chimichangas and deep-fried strawberries sound delicious too!
