    Epic bouncy house
    Darlene L.

    I came as OYE (thank you Danny W for getting me and my plus one)! Located in my hometown of Vista at the Antique steam and train museum, it's in a fun little spot with plenty of parking. Confession: we came later in the afternoon because of nap time. I'm never doing that again!!! Parking $10 to park close, or you can park down the way for $5 and I believe there is a tram that takes you back and forth. The $10 was worth it for the kids Food Good ol' BBQ competition with every team serving a little flair of their own! But...you must get there early! By the time we were there, a lot of the goods were sold out! Still what we sampled was delicious and the sizes were ample! Drinks Water, of course. But local beers, liquor sampling, ginger beer and wine! Nice little "beer garden" near the stage. Kids They thought of the kiddos!! So not only is there interesting stuff at the museum to see, but the event coordinators had bouncy house for the kids. It's extra, but the guys were cool and let the kids cruise around in there for a while. Overall: It was super fun! The family had a good time! The grandparents came with us and they enjoyed the food and music. Next year we are arriving when it starts. So, next year, if you see someone with 2 kids freaking out after lunch, just wave!

    Amazing food at the event today in vista! This here is a waffle made out of bacon and cheese, it has clowsaw and pulled pork! So amazing!

    I used to come to this street fair more often but now gravitate towards the Oside one on Thursday…read more Omgah, it's Thursday lol. But back to the review, please take time to go on the first week of May! There was around 500 vendors, I might be wrong but it was about six blocks full of fun things to be found. They do need some more things for men but then again, women are more in to shopping as a collective. If you love jewelry, small business finds, and food, it's definitely something I will be coming back for. I can't wait to go next year and replenish my earring collection. Recently started to collect them! We also had the most amazing freakin cake!!!! OMGAH!!!! I promise, if you like a cake that isn't dry, even a coffee cake that isn't dry, this company is worth ordering from! I am going to be ordering some yummy gifts for people in the future. It's called Dolce Monachelli's they do have a website and it's the best Bundt cake you will ever have. They have a cute sampler you can always get as a gift bc I will be gifting with these cakes! I think this is the best cake I've ever had! Sorry I don't have picks of the cake lol it was just too good and I forgot.

    Did ya'll know that one of the largest street fairs in the United States is the Carlsbad Village…read moreStreet Faire? Well, ya'll know now! This FREE event is sooo popular it not only attracts local people but also people from other States. There are over 750 unique vendors for arts & crafts, antiques, jewelry, hand-made or vintage clothing, games, live entertainment and much more. It's a FUN Sunday full of shopping, food and festivities. So come on Yelp Community don't miss this biannual event!

    Over the years we've come to the strawberry festival and we tend to come a little later in the day…read more& after the run event takes place. But how fun for those who do participate in that part of the event. I'd have to say this year they had a fantastic turnout, from the marketing, and the business being true to the strawberry theme. Being that the majority of the business, that had a pop up there, had some sort of strawberry something or other to be sold. Many people came in theme too ~~ with their very creative outfits. I especially loved that! And if you didn't come in theme you had lots of options to buy something and join in on the berry fun of it all. You can see in the photos that I posted just some of the things that we enjoyed. I like to sample and then circle back to buy if I can't stop thinking about something I spotted or tried. We took some cards and also followed some on their social medias in order to revisit supporting them at a later date. *Only qualm is people's impatience and driving erratically nearby & the fight or flight mode that kicks in because of issues with getting just the right parking spot. And one that's close enough to the event no less! We finally did get good parking karma tho. My Goodness! Overall it was a great event. It checked my boxes...if it has...Good food, Company, and Live music. I'm in!

So we took our car to where the shuttle dropped off everyone (mall parking lot) and was able to park closer to the event. It worked out in our favor later on as the line to the shuttle back was super long. The festival was surprisingly huge with a lot of vendors but out of all the places we only saw one single place selling strawberries. It had all the overpriced festival food and a lot of people. We did buy a half pack of strawberries and they were super sweet. I just wish there were more "strawberries" and the strawberry festival.

    For the past couple of years we have eagerly looked forward to the Vista Viking Festival.

The festival was moved to the Vista Antique Gas & Steam Engine museum and it has been a great venue for this two day event held late September. They have Viking games, lots of Mead and Cider vendors, Viking clothing, jewelry, and leather accessories and the music entertainment has been phenomenal. We'll definitely keep returning whenever possible.

    Another great turnout for the Viking festival. This year's '25 theme was honoring Valkyrie Ladies…read more How fun. This was the third consecutive year that we've attended. And the amount of people that we know that go here is growing. We meet up with several who also attend this event annually. And recognize lots of other regulars. I literally cannot wait to get the Swedish meatball dinner! It comes with smashed potatoes and lingonberries. Seriously it's the best combo. To drink is to have a drink of the times a cider or particularly a Mead! So many great and local vendors for that! This visit I got to try a free Viking Berry Monster drink. I don't usually drink these but it was actually a pretty nice treat & I liked it. This time around we came prepared with enough cash and credit...and had given ourselves a budget in order to get the drinks, food and just enough to get merch items that we wanted. I finally created a combo oil blend that I had gotten at a Renaissance faire, in No Cali, way back in the 90's! The oil is put into a vile of your choosing. So I picked a small one that doubled as a necklace. Definitely created nostalgia in a mini bottle! So much going on this year! It's a two day event and some stay and attend the entire weekend. Or they just come back the next day. If you like this sort of outing you should go!!!

This dynamic is welcomed to most people because they get to socialize and buy more then just fresh fruits and veggies. The only thing I am critical about is the organization of the booth space that allows the flow of people in better safety and comfort. I assume there was some store front push back that wanted 100% of there sidewalk available and clear surfing the market but what that has done has jammed too many people in what is obviously a "narrow space" to walk. It would be a fair and SAFE compromise to use 50% of the sidewalks on each side and adjust back the venders booths giving people 5 feet more in the middle to walk around. It would be easier to do this rather then assume or ask people to not stand around creating bottlenecks or be considerate of others and move like a car on a road. Expect to drive around for parking if you are not local enough to walk to the event and crowding due to the popular area it is in, live music, fresh foods and drinks as well as plenty of unique crafts and clothing.

The main gate or at the McClellan center both are $10. The annual event is nicely situated throughout these park grounds. Paved walkways with one slope down to the field area. The Scottish accent will soon travel from your gut to your tongue and chule foind new experiences emerging tru des lands. On the far East end there's sheep dog herding. It was pretty incredible seeing these border collies move on the command of a whistle. Just like in Babe.. I began to long for a pig to do just the same. There's a nice kids playground and dedicated area to practice their own Highland Game skills. Pipe bands are a thing! Who knew. Competitions were in progress when we arrived. The first food area is just past the band tents with a few umbrella tables connecting to the tented beer garden featuring live bands like Bad Haggis. Decently priced food and beverages for a festival. The athletics area is on the lower field this is where the men and women will be competing throughout the day. This is also where the main stage and shaded seating area will be along with merch and food vendors. Opening and closing ceremonies will feature all the bagpipe bands marching through the lower field onto the main stage area. Overall 5 stars being that the crowd was a good bunch with kindred spirit. All there for a good time enjoying traditional Scottish competitions, music and food.

Parking can be rough and sometimes there is a line and some disorganization getting into the event but despite that, we will be back.

    This was my second time coming to the Renaissance fair, the first time was many years ago…read morepre-covid. We came early so there was plenty of parking still, but it can be hard navigating with all of the people trying to get in and out. Next time I think I will park in the church and take the shuttle bus and see if that is better. I like that this Renaissance Fair is big but not too big. Sometimes too big can get overwhelming, and you don't get to see everything. This one is a really good size and there are a lot of things to see and do, and tons of vendors. I will say a lot of the booths were very expensive for their Wares. However I don't have much to compare it to, so this may be standard for Renaissance Fair merchants and goods. I will say I have seen some very beautiful items, some of which definitely look like they have put a lot of work into. There were several places inside for food, and surprisingly the prices weren't extremely terrible, and the food was pretty good. I had Carnitas fries, and fried zucchini, both of which were pretty good. I loved seeing everyone dressed up, and putting so much effort into these elaborate costumes. There are activities and entertainment as well. The actors really get into character, and we got to see the procession with the queen in tow. Since it was my first time I didn't do a lot of the activities, but they did have some games, archery, Etc. We did stop inside the Beer Garden, which had some entertainment that was very funny. It definitely was more adult-oriented in there, which makes sense. They had people singing funny songs, and they held two contests while we were there, one for the men and one for the women. We were there for several hours, and if you do a lot of the activities I could see you easily spending the whole day here. It's a lot of walking so we're comfortable shoes. I enjoyed myself, and think I would do this again, as be participate in more of the activities.

The food all looks great, but there is no place to eat it. There is a big area near the booths that could be set up with tables, which I'm sure the vendors would appreciate and enable them to enjoy more sales. 2. It's only open until 12:00 and while I'd like to try the food, I don't eat lunch before 12:30 or later. It should be open until at least 1:00. 3. The website says that dogs are not allowed, but they are everywhere and it's a pain to avoid them and tripping over their leashes. There also health department regulations FOR GOOD REASONS, to not have animals around food.
