Welcome
Asparagus- San Joaquin County's most prestigious agricultural product that inspired the creation of the Stockton Asparagus Festival 23 years ago. The Stockton Asparagus Festival is a three-day, multi-event, food, and entertainment festival, which celebrates asparagus.
The festival features two performing stages, an Asparagus Alley with the best deep fried asparagus found anywhere, one of the finest celebrity chef cooking demonstration kitchens, a fabulous Spear-Its of the Valley wine and beer pavilion, a craft show, exhibits by more than 70 food purveyors and 100 specialty merchandise vendors, and much more! The Stockton Asparagus Festival is honored to work with the City of Stockton to bring you this wonderful community event.
The All-America City Award is America's original and most prestigious community recognition award. Since 1949, the All-America City Award has encouraged and recognized civic excellence, honoring communities of all sizes (cities, towns, counties, neighborhoods and regions) in which community members, government, businesses and non-profit organizations work together to address critical local issues.
