This year’s Artichoke Festival theme, “Where Fun Blossoms,” extends beyond the traditional celebration of artichokes, and introduces a very special attraction:
The Culinary Bazaar!
Along with our long-time favorites—artichokes grilled, steamed and in burritos and tacos, we are thrilled to welcome new and exciting taste-masters to the artichoke fold. Chef Todd Fisher and his Bear & Flag Roadside eatery is a highlight of our new Culinary Bazaar, which features a variety of pop-up restaurants in permanent food booths, serving artichoke dishes guaranteed to surprise and delight.
