Lavender nights is a themed festival style event that lasts several weeks in the late spring/summer. Perfect date night idea to explore the fields and take photos. The food options are fun and out of the ordinary. We enjoyed the lavender lemonade, carnitas tacos, and "lavender" sourdough mini donuts. I'd say the sourdough over-powered the lavender in the donut but the flavors of cinnamon and lemon were excellent. Note- wear appropriate shoes, this is an outdoor farm atmosphere you'll walk a lot and much of the terrain is uneven and has wood chips. There is a small tractor tour that looks cute, we didn't ride. We walked all through the place. As the night falls, the decorative lights begin to illuminate the gardens and paths making it beautiful and romantic. Highly recommended for any group of friends, a couple or family (maybe not small kids... as it's a lot of walking and not my idea of stroller friendly) read more

Lavender Nights takes place at 123 Farm and takes place from September through October in the evenings. We noticed that depending on what day you go, the prices vary, but it really isn't too expensive. There are a ton of booths to check out selling anything from sourdough pizza to funnel cakes. Everything is pretty good, I would recommend splitting with someone. There is also live music and lots of lights to check out. It is really beautiful and a fun experience, we definitely plan to go back before the end of October! I would just recommend wearing bug spray since it's outside. read more

Super cute date idea! Perfect for photo shoots, date night, and being your steps in. In fact, make sure you bring comfy and stable shoes to walk the grounds through various terrains. Accessible bathrooms are provided in multiple areas of the property. A lot of shop to purchase from and food court areas also. You CAN bring your own picnic snacks while you visit the farm. At main right entrance they'll scan your ticket upon entering. The signs will lead you to the closest and most available parking area. Once parked you're allowed to explore the premises in non restricted areas. From tree lights, fire pits, chandeliers and the vineyards, the owners have been very thoughtful and creative with their farm. Food: matcha $12 - nothing crazy. Not strong in the matcha. Fried chicken sandwich with rosemary fries $23 with $2 added for rosemary fries. No sauces included. Fries were underwhelming and chicken a bit stringy. Strawberry lavender lemonade was the star of the show at $7 for a regular size cup. Would I return? Maybe. Would i come for the food? Probably not. They also had coffee, a bar, and dessert. They had tacos, carne asada fries among other things to nibble on. Come for the lights. Bring your own snacks and drinks. Arrive early for good parking. Bring your camera! read more

Located on 123 Farms, the Lavender Festival is available preseason and postseason. We came on Mother's Day where admission was free as long as you bought a parking pass. During the lavender season, the tickets are a bit pricey alongside parking. The farm itself has numerous activities to do, picturesque moments, and different foods to try. My fiancé and I have attended the lavender festival three times already, so we knew what to expect. We avoided the foods we didn't enjoy last time, and tried new items. We ordered their carne asada tacos, croissant beignets, their peach sangria, and more. If you're planning to come here, I'd suggest eating beforehand, because the food is not good. Their tacos are dry; the meat and the tortilla feel like separate entities. Their croissant beignets on the other hand were absolutely phenomenal. It's exactly what you'd expect and it was amazing! Their drinks are good here, too. I had their lavender margarita which was absolutely perfect. Their peach sangria can be better. They sold bunches of lavender in their gift stores and you had opportunities to take photos with their lavender in the fields. It was a unique experience overall away from your usual city life. I don't think I'll come back again. I've been three times enough, and it's generally the same. I'd recommend trying it once to see what it's like, and that's all. read more

*** August 21, 2025 to October 26, 2025 *** Lavender Nights is an annual seasonal festival hosted by 123 Farm in Cherry Valley (18 miles away from Redland or 64 miles away from DTLA). Our party came here right before the end of this festival and most visitors were already in the area doing other morning or noon activities (e.g. apple picking, pumpkin patches, etc). [Parking]: HIGHLY recommend on getting onsite parking pass while purchasing admission ticket(s). Since our party purchased our admission tickets the day before our visit, all parking passes were sold out. While there were plenty of free street parking near Frontier Trail and our party parked near the intersection of Frontier Trail & High St at 6 PM, it was (1) 0.5 mile one-way walk and (2) no street lamps so the neighborhood was pitch dark & I had to turn on my smartphone flashlight to walk back to my car. [Admission]: $19 per person on Saturday night. Have QR code(s) ready as the staff will can code(s) upon entry. [What to do]: * Live music on every evening from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. * Tractor rides ($8 per adult) = a 10-15 minute tour through the lavender fields, visit the 1000-year-old oak tree, and hear the ranch's history from a guide. Please note the weather can get really chilly after sunset in late October. * Lavender-inspired food, drinks, and desserts; some of signature items include Lavender Fig + Goat Cheese Sourdough Pizza, Lavender Lemonade, Lavender Cheesecake, Lavender Peach Funnel Cake, etc. * Lavender fields and olive groves covered in over 500,000+ lights. * S'mores pit reservations start at $30. * Photo ops = a vintage sofa located in century-old olive groves, a "Willow" Tree (technically it is the century-old oak tree), lavender fields, etc. * Local handmade shops like The Blacksmith Shop (the farm store) + Flower Market. * Sourdough Bread Hall + Matcha Room Café. [Conclusion]: Our party ended up staying from 6:15 PM to 8:45 PM and experienced most of things this festival has to offered except s'mores pit. This is one of the most romantic festivals anyone will find in SoCal, but definitely (1) come here early (ideally before sunset) in late October to avoid the night chills and (2) buy onsite parking pass to avoid walking 0.5-mile in the dark for street parking. P.S. - 123 Farm hosts other seasonal festivals like February Valentine's Nights, March Tea Nights, April Sourdough Bread Festival & Country Music Festival, May Jazz Festival, June to July signature Lavender Festival, August through October Lavender Nights, November Community Olive Harvest, and November to December Christmas Nights. read more

Order tickets and parking online ahead of time. 123farms.com every staff member we encountered was friendly. We bought a passport book that was fun to complete, takes you around the farm to collect different stamps and recieved a commemorative pin after we finished. Drinks and food we had were good. Plenty of space and lots of things to do and hang out. -games, live music, lots of shops, lots of places to try lavender something's. Cool views of sunset over lavender field behind bread / coffee / bar area. Simple tractor ride was fun. Easily could spend the whole time there but it was a lot of walking. Arrived about 6pm and left about 10:30. Bring a change of shoes / sandals. VERY DUSTY. Towards the end of the night even a mask would help because of all the cars leaving kicks up a lot of dust and it carries. Didn't really encounter bugs or mosquitoes. read more

This place is a 10 out of 10! I don't know where to start. LOL! I got there right at 4 on the dot, parking was ample and easy. I was in love with the place and set up at first glance. Even during the early evening the grounds were extremely pleasant to look at. There were great food and desert choices and the plenty of seating and shopping. I ordered the brisket sliders and fries, it was very good. The rest of the grounds were very charming with various cottages and fields of lavender plants and trees. But it was a whole different place when the sun went down and the all the sparkling lights came on, it turned into a whimsical wonderland that would make Tinkerbell jealous. I also had a few drinks that were so, so good. A glass of Rose' that was followed by a super delicious lavender spiked lemonade had me in the right frame of mind for the awesome entertainment. The soulful musical stylings of The Bohemian Busker was worth the price of admission and the 2 hour drive out there. Her renditions of 80's, 90's and a few current R & B songs were so soothing and relaxing, I could have listened to her singing all night long. Safe to say I will 100% be back for the Christmas season. read more

Fun and cute place to visit. We were able to do a bunch of little activity booths and got a personalized tote bag (for about 15$). We had the pizza and it was 10/10, especially at night when it can get a bit colder. Can get pretty expensive though and they hand out christian/religious items (tiny jesus and pamphlets) as gifts sometimes, which just causes a bit of awkward moments as it's hard to reject. read more

This was my first year at Lavender Nights! I have previously been to the Lavender Festival at the 123 farm a few years prior. I didn't know what to expect. I bought my ticket online with their discount code they had a few weeks prior. I was coming from out Riverside and I headed out at around 5pm. It was about a 54 minute drive on a Saturday. The farm is in the middle of some suburbs. I had not bought parking before hand and parking was already at capacity. I parked a good distance from the farm and walked to the event. The signal can be kinda spotty so be sure to have your ticket ready. I took some pictures with the lavender , which were still in late bloom according to my friend. The 1000 year old tree was strung with lights, which I also took pictures at. We walked to where all the vendors were and shopped a bit. We got coffee at the only place that had substitute milk. It in was a little house. There so many lights and we walked to the food area. We got a brisket sandwich which was too salty. By this time, they were already picking up and everyone was leaving. Such a good experience! It gets very cold at night so be sure to wear layers and have a jacket! read more

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I had been on the farm's mailing list for a while. I had purchased their products online and their lavender chapstick is my go to. Finally was in the desert on the right dates and got to buy tickets for the festival. Brought a friend and her kid and we had a blast. The place is huge and I discovered a whole section on my way out we hadn't visited at all. Most of all, I liked all the shady seating under the trees while a young woman with a lovely voice played some fantastic covers. There was a giant chess board and hanging chairs the kids enjoyed. My friend and I enjoyed a lavender margarita. The night was wonderfully warm without being too hot and everything was just so relaxed. There were quite a few people there, but not so crowded it was unpleasant. If you like photo opportunities this place has you covered. One set up after another with nature adorned with lights. I saw people come dressed to the nines for that perfect shot. read more

i was so impressed with how cute this place is! it def seemed like it was well organized and planned out. the little shops, the food, music, ambiance... it felt like a nice getaway. food blew my mind away, who knew that lavender ranch could be a thing? for the price, the lavender fields itself were very underwhelming and there were no signs pointing to it so it was very unambiguous. everything was pretty pricey but worth it to try read more

There's plenty of places to relax and take photos. read more

Although the lavender plants weren't in bloom, the farm itself was adorned with gorgeous lights. The event was worthwhile for the $9.50 price tag. Highly recommend arriving at 5PM to snatch a free parking spot. General parking was $12 and preferred parking was $25 otherwise. Parking had sold out within a week of my planned visit. Tickets were cheaper online but they was purchasable the day of for $5 more. Service wasn't the greatest so it's best to have the tickets downloaded beforehand. S'mores pits were also available for purchase on select days but they sold out quickly. We were given a map after checking in. However, there were only one set of bathrooms available in the buildings. All the portable restrooms were unfortunately nonfunctional. Thankfully the bathrooms were clean and maintained well. Despite the rain, everything was still open albeit a bit damp. There wasn't much overhead so I would bring an umbrella. There were tours, live music, and photo ops all over the farm. Food options included pizza, BBQ, vegan sushi, and lavender based desserts. However I stayed until 7PM and the dessert stand still hadn't started selling funnel cakes. The food was noticeably marked up and took a long time to make so I would eat preemptively. The souvenir stands had a variety of merchandise, toiletries, and jarred goods. They were priced fairly and I nabbed myself a beanie, tea cup and magnet. All purchased items were wrapped and bagged carefully. Given general admission was only $9.50, I found the decor and ambiance to be worth the price. However, I'm glad I saved tons of money on parking and food. Come early to avoid the crowd and lines. read more

Lavender Nights - Enjoying friends, beautiful lights and live music @ the 123 Farm Lavender Nights, Cherry Valley, California, October 2024. - Festivals Near Me - Cherry Valley, California

My friends and I went to Lavender Nights on Wednesday August 28th. We had the best time. There were so many drink and food options that had lavender something worked in! The strawberry lavender margarita was probably the best margarita I've had. Everything was a bit pricey but not out of this world. They have cute shops all around that sell the cutest stuff. Every building is so cute inside. We went on a Wednesday so they have signs that more things are open on the weekends. They also have an oak tree that is 1000+ years old and it is magical to see. Admission was reasonable and so was the parking fees. There are also tractor rides for an additional $8 per person. I definitely recommend visiting here and can't wait to visit again for Christmas Nights! read more

I recently took my family visiting from NorCal to Lavender Nights, and it was a memorable experience! The lighting was beautiful, the weather was perfect, and we went on a Saturday night. The event starts at 5 pm, and I recommend arriving then since it wraps up at 10 pm and time flies! The food was delicious especially the sourdough pizza and mac n' cheese, which were the standouts! We also loved the blueberry/strawberry matcha lattes and lavender lemonades. While the only plant-based option on the menu was a salad, they were able to modify the sourdough pizza for plant-based guests. The lighting and background music created a magical atmosphere. I'm giving four stars because the event felt overwhelmingly understaffed. I've visited around Christmas and remember more food stands and two tractors running for the tractor ride. This time, we waited about an hour and 15 minutes to order food since the only place to order was from the dining hall, and nearly two hours for the tractor ride as only one tractor was available. Considering the event is only five hours, the long waits did cut into our evening. Overall, I still recommend checking out Lavender Nights at least once. It's a beautiful and unique experience! read more

Very scenic with all the lights. Food and drink prices were way too high. Minimum wage must be $40/hr to justify pricing. I just love being asked for a minimum 18% tip when I order at a counter and have to come back to pick up my order. I got brisket sliders and fries and there was maybe 1/4 cup of meat total. Eat and drink before you get there so you don't need to cash out your 401k. read more

Driving all the way out to Cherry Valley, I want too sure if Lavender Nights would be worth the visit. After visiting, I'd love to come back! Lavender nights feels like you're whisked away from the hustle and bustle of the city into a lavender wonderland. I appreciated the live music, photo ops, and lavender themed foods. We really loved the ice cream and loved just walking around and enjoying the ambience. Worth checking out!! read more

123 Farms recently changed its admission rules for Lavender Nights. Now, tickets must be purchased online in advance, and they're only available as part of a dinner package, which includes a complimentary drink, parking, and entrance to Lavender Nights. Children under 12 can enter for free. We visited during the week to avoid the crowds, and the atmosphere was lovely. Small vendors line the pathways in the small houses and there are beautiful lights everywhere, creating a magical setting. The food is served inside one of the buildings; it was tasty, though a bit pricey. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience! read more

This was a unique experience! The ticket is only $10 per vehicle to park inside but I do recommend you purchase online. You can also park on the street and buy the entrance per person. Tennis shoes or comfortable shoes period are highly recommended as it is mainly dirt and you are walking between the plants in certain areas. There was live music, food, drinks, all kinds of vendors and also you could rent a fire pit to make s'mores. Alot of areas for photo opportunities and y'all know me...I definitely took many photos and videos. read more

They filled the lavender fields with lights and did it well. I actually prefer this over the lavender festival in the morning. A lot of picture moments and 123 farm is a reasonable large field. Enjoyed the afternoon with some friends here and easily was able to spend 4ish hours before it closed at 10pm. Parking can be found outside if you don't want to pay the $12 dollars online for parking inside but you may need to come early. read more

What an amazing place to enjoy the cooler weather now that summer is passing by. Entry price is $10 per car and recently they've been at capacity so an online reservation system is available for admissions. Our friend has a season pass that includes prepaid parking, so getting I was a breeze. We walked around the property and scoped out the food and beverage situation. Their pizzas and margaritas delish, especially the lavender margarita and the fig & goat cheese pizza. The Sourdough Lodge is one of a few spots that sells fresh loaves of bread and seasonal syrups, honey and other gift items. In fact there are a bunch of pop-up style shops across the property, including a small local artists and local merchants row. We heard about the old oak tree and walked through the grove of olive trees and crossed over a dark field to view the tree. A lovely plaque is near the base for you to read and learn more about it's history. On the way back to the main courtyard, you're flanked on the left side with rows and rows of persimmon trees. The toilet situation is quite interesting. The defunct hotel on the property has all the restrooms opened for guests. Toilet paper, paper towels and hand soap are well-stocked. The rooms are blocked off with furniture so people don't end up sleeping on the beds. Pro-tip: If the queues downstairs are long, go up stairs! Plenty more rooms / toilets available. This venue used to provide wedding and large event services but this ended recently. It's a great local spot to hangout for an evening sitting beneath the stars and chatting away. The lovely smell of lavender is only a few steps away. read more

Loved Lavender Nights at 123 Farm. My wife found this place via social media and we finally made the trip out to Beaumont. Although far from LA, this place is worth the visit. Plan on coming here right when they open at 5pm because you're going to need all the time to explore the farm. It is bigger than you think and includes many gift shops, food vendors, and wine tasting. The best things we ate were the funnel cake and lavender honey ice cream. We tried their pizzas and they were decent. The crust was tasty and chewy in a good way. Our favorite drink has to be the lavender blueberry cream ale. We will be returning for sure! read more

Lavender Nights - Funnel cake - Festivals Near Me - Cherry Valley, California

A beautiful farm in the middle of no where as I call it. It's like something out of a beautiful mid western movie and you wouldn't believe this is only about an hour and a half away from the OC. The theme was lavender as everything was surrounding the flavors and scents of lavender. They had live music, a few food and dessert shops, and gift shops. You can walk around and take pics of all the beautiful lighting over trees, field and cactus. They open around 5pm and go on till about 9:30-10pm. I tried the lavender and fig pizza which was absolutely delicious. The burger was alright morning to rave about but it was definitely worth giving it a shot. I enjoyed the lavender lemonade. You can also do a tour of the entire 123 farm in one of their tractor trailers. If you come across a couple, big dogs, don't worry those are farm dogs. Even I wanted to save them at first until I ask the staff. Definitely give them some pets though. Overall great experience, and nice little getaway. read more

Lovely night though it was 95+ degrees. Suggest: wear comfortable shoes, there are uneven surfaces, gravel, pine needles & twigs on the ground, mulch areas, grassy areas. Food was good not great. Lavender drinks were also good w faint lavender flavor. Lavender ice cream was delicious but can only recommend the strawberry. Very limited vegetarian food selection. Lots of seating/tables, games, walking areas. Plenty of photo opportunities. Light decorations were beautiful. Wonderful performer, Aaron Copenhaguen, on the night we were there. Staff was helpful & answered all questions. $10 admission parking per vehicle. Parking tickets available online. Handicap parking available although If you arrive early you may be able to park by the food area (central to everything) and have an easier time getting around. The driveways & parking are only have gravel so if you have a wheel chair, walker or mobile disability it will take a bit of extra effort to get around. Plenty of regular parking available. Clean restrooms. read more

Really much better even than I had expected. Not close to me (2 hour drive) from Irvine, but my wife really wanted to go and see the lights. From other pictures I really thought it was going to be a small place but it turned out to be really big. Besides the amazing looking tree with dangling lights, there was a huge lavender farm that is covered in lights, a mini food festival with pizza that my wife really liked, bbq, burgers, ice cream and some really good lemonade. Each of them has some kind of fun lavender infusion that works with the festival theme. Entrance was cheap since you're only paying for parking, and I would go early (pre-sunset) so you can see the area with some light before it gets dark. Also, lines were really long about a half hour after sunset so if you want to try the food you need to get there early. read more

It's magical here. The lights the vibe the scent it's all a dream! There's something about this place that is calming and feeds your soul.

Such a beautiful experience! I attended the summer Lavender Festival last year, so seeing the grounds covered in lights at night was lovely. I'm a sucker for sunshine so that you can put them in a bathroom, and I think it's magical. But honestly, it felt like early Christmas. They draped the trees in lights and had the little creek looking like something out of Fern Gully! I was excited when I realized the Lavender Lemonade was sold in more than one spot because I did not feel the long line in the main vendor section. Of course, the music was relaxing, and they had many lovely areas to sit and relax. This time, when I visited, I left with fresh sourdough and champagne mimosa vinegar! I can't wait to come back again. read more

I went on the last Sunday it was open in October and was kind of disappointed- it was partially my fault. For some reason I thought it would be average temperature but it got COLD once sun went down. I was wearing a dress & sandals, ya know that romantic vibe....big mistake! I was freezing my butt off. After that I couldn't really enjoy the evening and by end of night my feet were filthy and black with dirt and maybe poop from a bird?...it's a farm vibe. LOL. Food and drink was pricey and they only had fancy COLD alcoholic lavender drinks and only regular coffee and hot cocoa for hot drinks. With lavender lattes and such being so popular now you'd think they would be on it but no. I finally ordered a coffee and staff said sorry no more cream or sugar and we ran out of hot water for cocoa. Seriously? The place had beautiful lights yes and it could have been enchanting and romantic but in all those areas of lights and beauty were fools with their phones taking selfies for social media...like everyone. It was disgusting. If you go in late October take a heavy jacket, boots, thermos, take a couple pretty photos then put the damn phone away and enjoy the lights! read more

LOVED this event!!!!!! It was so beautiful. The lights were amazing. My friend screamed with excitement the whole night. . I feel like you have to go at least 2 times to see everything that you want. Get that camera ready. Dress for pictures and wear comfortable shoes. Remember this is a farm. The food was okay. Overpriced. I do like their fries. They are always hot and fresh. The drinks are definitely worth the price! I wasn't a fan of the lavender ice cream. The funnel cake was good. It's a lot. You need to split it with someone. And the lavender cheesecake was delicious!!! I will definitely buy again. Everyone is always well behaved. No drama. So you can feel comfortable there. read more

Great for date night. Walks, shopping little shops, games, s'mores, dinning, music, photo ops.

Tonight was my husband and I's first time to this festival and WOW! If you love walking around outside under pretty lights and plants and eating good food while doing it, this is the place for you! We both had such a romantic and fun time looking at everything and just enjoying the safe and fun scenery, as well as the food and shops. There are SO many places to sit and hangout or take photos! HIGHLY recommend the chocolate lavender ice cream, lavender cheesecake, and lavender/fig pizza. read more

This event/place was super cute! We went for my boyfriend's birthday, and there were so many places to take pictures along with many food vendors.

It was definitely worth the trip and we felt like we got way more than what we paid for. Will definitely come back again! :) read more

Magical.. so much fun and so much to explore. I'm on the more frugal side so my family and I didn't eat here but still lots to do and reasonably priced. We enjoyed playing Jenga and ping pong and we did a scavenger hunt. I enjoyed making s'mores we had a group of five so it was 30$ I'm not too so if that is per person or to reserve a fire pit but regardless it was a great time. 10/10 recommend. read more

Lavender nights are an amazing way to spend an evening in the highlands. 123 Farms has been around for a long long time it's very historic it's very beautiful and they have everything groomed to perfection. We got there just about dusk the lights were on and everything just looked amazing. The smell of lavender was everywhere the sun was going down it wasn't absolutely gorgeous night in a gorgeous setting. Live music to make the Ambiance even better. If you get a chance to make it out to 123 Farms for lavender nights don't miss it. A little tip make sure you pay for your parking online in advance it will guarantee you a parking spot on the grounds near the event. They also have a great array of miscellaneous lavender products along with sourdough pizza a full lavender bar and lots of other pickings for your hunger pains. Thank you 123 farms for being such an asset to the community and thank you for taking care of this Historic Site and maintaining its natural beauty along with your own personal touches. read more
