Goleta Lemon Festival

Celebrate all things citrus at the Goleta Lemon Festival, a fun-filled community event that’s been a local favorite for over 30 years. Held every fall at Girsh Park, this family-friendly festival features live entertainment, a classic car show, lemon-themed food and drinks, kids’ activities, local vendors, and more.
From lemon pie-eating contests to fresh lemonade stands, the event puts Goleta’s agricultural roots front and center. Whether you’re coming for the food, the music, or the lively festival atmosphere, it’s a sweet way to spend a fall weekend on California’s Central Coast.
