Artichoke Festival: Back to the Valley!
The Artichoke Festival returns for its 65th year to a new location for 2025 — the Monterey County Sheriff’s Posse Grounds. Experience a down-home family festival in the bountiful Salinas Valley, celebrating the harvest season in California, and highlighting the artichoke’s central role in our region’s agricultural legacy.
You won’t want to miss out on this unique celebration of food, fun, and community
spirit. Featuring exciting live music, family fun attractions, arts & crafts vendors, food trucks, and libations, with a special “Artichoke Row” highlighting local chefs’ culinary artichoke expertise.
We’re going Back to the Valley with a down-home experience for the whole family!
Spread those good artichoke-y feels!
