    The festival is a great spot for everyone! It is located in a residential area, with it also being…read morerural. Tickets are parking are bought online. Once at the entrance, you are scan your ticket and parking with a parking attendant. There is parking available on site, depending on the day and whether it is sold out. It's a good idea is buy parking ahead of time or you will be forced to park in the residential area. The farm is huge and everything is spread out, so expect a lot of walking. You are given a map of the festival. It can be a little hard to follow since not everything is cleared labeled outside the map. The farm has designated areas, such as the shops, food, and activities. Everything is on theme of lavender: food, drinks, and merch. Some that stood out to me is the matcha room, flower market, the blacksmith shop, and a coffee shop. There is 123 merch at some shops and local vendors selling their art work. Theres vendors selling candies, crochet, book marks, crystals, etc. Although the festival entry is at 5, most shops and vendors do not open until 6. Through the farm, there are workers around. However, some can be unfriendly. There are bathrooms and no porta potties! In the food area, there is pizza, sandwiches, carne asada fries, bbq. I ordered from the grill and got a steak sandwich (minus the bread) and they were very accommodating. I received a buzzer and my order did not take long. Dessert, there is ice cream, funnel cake, cheesecake, pies. There are a ton of beverage options besides coffee and matcha, like lemonade and alcohol. There is a stage for live music and lots of seating for eating. Music acts are listed online and on the map. There alot of spots for photo ops and there is also a Photo Booth! Such a great place, I've been to events at the 123 farm and I always enjoy it.

    Such a great outing! Walked through fields of lavender with wonderful photo ops; relaxing vibe…read morewith adorable boutique shops of everything lavender that reminded me of walking thru Santorini, Greece - lavender soft serve ice-cream (delicious), lavender infused teas, honey, natural soaps, pillow spray, etc; live performer with a beautiful voice singing and lending a relaxed ambiance as onlookers enjoyed our meals and shopping. The food was delicious. Had pizza with fig & lavender goat cheese (delicious!), lavender margarita was amazing, lavender cheesecake, lavender lemon bar and lavender/lemon donuts. We also signed up to make our own perfume. It was fun and I wear my perfume to work. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back in the fall.

    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!

    Last night at the Village fest was quite quiet. It has been a heat wave happening in the desert so…read morepeople are staying inside. Majority of the vendors that are regulars didn't have anything set up last night. I was hoping to pick up some houseplants but the vendor wasn't there. Guess with the heat, it's not good for the plants to be out. Rightfully with that. But it did seem like the food area did have more vendors compared to what I've seen before. Usually walking along the strip, it tends to be packed with vendors and shoppers but the past few weeks, not so many. Summer tends to be quiet as people do leave town. The snowbirds going back to Canada. Even restaurants close for the summer season. Same with the vendors here, some comes every other week while there's still the regulars that comes every week. Small local vendors trying to get their product out there. They have the locals vendors that I frequent for my baked goods and sweets. It's a nice little shopping and food area that's great for a Thursday night. Restaurant and shops do open a little later for the event. It was quite hot last night so a lot of vendors weren't out. But once it starts to cool down again, it'll get busier.

    Enjoy most of the food vendors. Bought some great cinnamon rolls, candied pecans and Peruvian…read morecookies. The man working the ice cream truck reminded me of a Mexican Big Perm from the movie Friday. He was so sassy and couldn't be bothered.

    Once a year, usually on the third Saturday of September, the city of München goes crazy…read more Once a year, we in the US try to copy our Bayern friends.... from Cincinnati Ohio to Fredericksburg Texas and now ... Temecula California. Europa Winery has caught the Wiesn fever. We came here last evening and enjoyed ourselves, along with a few hundred of our friends. The food was very good. Ron, the Executive Chef who worked for many years in the Bavaria city of Nürnberg, cooked up a storm. He served up Wurst, Brezel, Sauerbraten, Spätzle, Kartoffelsalat, Sauerkraut, Kartoffelpuffer, Schokoladenkuchen and lots of Bier und WeißWein (photos). Sehr lecker! Delicious! We sat in the Europa Village wine club tent C'est La Vie. Everyone was at communal tables of twelve, which made for lots of fun. Some of the guests even dressed up in genuine Dirndl and Lederhosen. Nice! Europa Village went all out. There was live music from an accordion player, who was really into it. We had fun imagining we were back in the Hacker-Pschorr and Spaten tents of our youth. As they use to say: "Lass dir raten, trinke Spaten!" We cannot wait until next year. Prost!

    I hate to write this review because I like Europa Village winery, but they dropped the ball so hard…read moreon this event, that I felt compelled to share. The event started with an unorganized entry where some showed tickets and other walked in without from a different direction. For the exaggerated fee, we were only given 1 twelve ounce beer and dinner. There was some tasting of German beer that you had to stand in a long line for otherwise. Dinner was chaotic at best. We missed out on most of the traditional food because it took us an entire hour to get through the food line. The DJ and accordion player played music and tried to get people dancing, but we were busy standing in line. When we went to get another beer to go with dinner, I was told they RAN OUT OF BEER! I think some people could be JAILED for running out of beer during an Oktoberfest. We finally ate and were ready to dance... The DJ abruptly said "good night folks" and shut it down. The whole event went 2 hours for $100 a ticket and half the time was in line for food. No "festival atmosphere, games, or anything else they promised" including bratwurst, sauerkraut and spicy mustard. So sad. So disappointed. So uncharacteristically Europa.

Fortunately we were able to park immediately a couple minutes away from the fair. They had so many venders, we got raw cinnamon honey and hot sauces! Im so excited to try them out especially raw honey! Very family and dog friendly, we spent great time!!!

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.
