So I've been meaning to come to this festival for ages - just wasn't able to get around to it this…read moretime of the year since I usually either forgot when it was or had something else going on. Finally made it in 2026. Parked in the shaded parking lot of Fallbrook High School and in a short while a comfy air conditioned shuttle bus took a bunch of us up to the 7-11 at the south end of the festival at Main Ave and Fallbrook Street. I had read all the reviews so I knew not to expect a lot of avocado themed items like I would have imagined they might have - avocado beer, avocado wine, Indonesian avocado coffee (es apulkat), avocado shaped bumper cars and other avocado themed fairground rides, folks walking around dressed in avocado costumes, a guacamole wrestling ring, etc. But I did go on a scavenger hunt of all avocado related items mentioned in reviews from years past. The festival is on Main avenue between W Fallbrook Street and E Mission Road on the north end. There were all sorts of booths like you'd see at a street fair or farmers market. There was also The Fun Zone - a huge play area for kids with all sorts of things like a giant slide. So first thing I got was the Holy Guaca-Moly guacamole and chips for ten bucks - it seemed like there was one of these booths at every other intersection along Main avenue. It was good guacamole but you don't get a lot for the amount they were charging. Next I went to the Coal Bunker to try the pork and the shrimp stuffed avocados. They also had chicken as well as quinoa stuffed avocados. Of the two I tried the shrimp most definitely ruled - would get that again. After that I went to Bakin' It Up to try their avocado ice cream and avocado fudge bar - the avocado ice cream was a nice cold treat for a warm day and the avocado fudge was very creamy - no surprise since avocado is the first ingredient listed on the packaging. I also went next door to The Spoiled Avocado, who were also advertising Avocado Fudge. They were giving out samples and this was different - actual chocolate pieces made with avocado oil - they were not creamy but solid pieces in all sorts of flavors - classic, walnut, orange, peanut butter, salted caramel. I also paid a visit to the Fallbrook Gem and Mineral Society which was a nice detour to get away from the crowds. Finally there seemed to be a lot of folks selling boxes of Hass from Del Rey Avocado Company. I would have gotten one as well but instead I got Zutanos from Everdawn Farms and Fuertes from Del Sol Ranch so I left the festival content with my avocado haul.

This event has mostly meads, there are some regular beers on tap as well. The food is delicious, and they have plenty of options to choose from, but the Swedish meatballs and meat pies are my favorites. The bands playing this year were really good. They also have rock lifting competitions and ax throwing that was fun to watch. Parking here fills up fast. You can park at Vista High School for $5 and take a shuttle to the event. It's totally worth checking out.

It's just some of the volunteers you could tell never worked in customer service. Specifically, in the kid area where they had to paint the shields. One lady in particular was so rude. She was a little older with shoulder length brown hair and I walked away from her thinking, "wow, she should not be a volunteer." Maybe she was having a bad day, idk, it left such a bad taste in my mouth I won't be bringing my family back again.

It's a big giant street fair, with the same t-shirts, wind chimes, and crappy junk food you find at ANY street fair. If "avocados" were the theme, well, I sure missed it. What happened to festivals where the actual name of the festival was celebrated and there was an actual theme? Now, it's just an excuse for a crowded street fair selling lots of crap. Never again. I hope.

Plenty of vendors and food stations to immerse yourself in. The lines moved pretty quickly. We tried the gyro, moussaka, feta phyllo and souvlaki.

The very talented live band kept the jovial vibe alive to thoroughly enjoy yourself on the sidelines or on the dance floor. Lots of baked goods to choose from the baklava and custard crème filo were our favorites. A beautiful day to celebrate a beautiful culture.

I used to love coming to this corn maze every year, but we missed the last two years. Boy has it…read morechanged. There used to be numbered stations throughout the maze. In the way old days there was trivia at each checkpoint and the card told you which way to turn based on the answer you picked. If you got the right answer you'd be on the right path. Then there was no more trivia, but there were numbered checkpoints so you'd know whether you were on the right path or not. Not as fun, but OK. This year there wasn't even numbered checkpoints. I guess there was a photo of the design you could take a photo of when you paid to enter, but no one told us about that. We ended up hearing about it from someone else in the maze when we asked if they had seen a checkpoint yet. Turns out you really don't need a photo though. It's basically a long walk (took us 45 minutes) through the cornfield. You can't really get lost because any dead ends are super short. There is literally no challenge in it anymore. I was pretty disappointed. It's always been a favorite fall activity for me.
