Accommodating and hot but I had fun it was my first time
I've been to countless events here over the years from car shows and flea markets to rodeos and the fair itself. It’s a central hub for Stockton gatherings and definitely has history behind it. That said, the grounds show their age. Deeper into the property, especially near the old horse track and stables, it starts to feel abandoned. Roads are cracked, and maintenance could be better overall. Still, it’s a vital venue for the community and holds a lot of memories.
This is — by far — the BEST Asparagus Festival I have ever attended. Kudos! A veritable Woodstock of festivals, right here in California’s Central Valley, this year’s Asparagus Festival was a tremendous success, in my book. A triumph of logistics! I mean… Almost immediately after walking through the Fairgrounds entrance, I was struck by the great vibe, the happy faces, the live music, the incredible variety of vendor booths along the colorful & secure walkways dishing out great eats (and not just asparagus); along with an impressive array of booths serving up a variety of goods for sale — clothes, candles, jewelry — to name just a few… along with an impressive variety of entertainment options. This annual 3-day event (originally dubbed the Stockton Asparagus Festival when it made its debut in 1986) has been a Valley favorite for years, even though the location has changed multiple times. But I think the Festival has finally found its permanent home — at long last — at the County Fairgrounds in Stockton, CA. To sum it up: The 2025 San Joaquin Asparagus Festival was a masterful feat of logistics, managing multiple logistical challenges (security, crowd control, parking, etc.) with ease. Thanks to event pro Tony Noceti & his incredible crew, San Joaquin County keeps getting better!! Bravo!! 👏🏼
Asparagus Festival 2025: Plenty of things to do. Rides, food, vendors. I personally would require vendors to have at least one item that was on theme, just to make for a more interesting experience. Very few had anything to do with asparagus. The restrooms were not well maintained. They were out of soap or paper towels. System was good for moving people around. I do think they could have had more shaded seating. Lots of open areas and areas without proper seating. Not bad, but could be better.
It’s a flea market you can find any used things you need in this flea market the best place to buy really used things
