The Artichoke Festival

Coming Summer 2021 — Festival Dates to be Announced Soon!

The Artichoke Festival has been a local institution in Monterey County for over 60 years. Without the passionate dedication of our community of volunteers, entertainers, artists, vendors, sponsors and guests alike, we would not be able to give back to the local nonprofit community for whom we target our giving each year.

Sadly, and for the first time in Artichoke Festival history, we had to cancel last year’s 2020 event.

But, stay tuned for new dates! The Artichoke Festival will return in the Summer of 2021 at the Monterey County Fair & Event Center. We can’t wait to see the happy faces of our guests and volunteers, eager to celebrate this beautiful region that we proudly call “the Artichoke Center of the World!”
