The really only cool things in my opinion was the asparagus ice cream, deep fried asparagus and let's not forget the huge shop Save Mart shopping cart. To me just over priced crap. Just the same ol stuff as any kind of fair, wine festival flee market.
I was merely attending the flea market but the parking seems to require something more robust than my lowered e500...the dirt and mud quickly rendered my last detail as non existent. Now I know why I go to the flea market on El Dorado.
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.
Yesterday, my family and I went to San Joaquin County Fairgrounds for the Second Annual Seafood & Soul Event by BlacktoBusibess209!!! The event is ONLY $1 to get in and out was well worth it!!! There was so much great food available, with other Vendors as well!!! Harmony Waist Beads, A.D. & Me Photos, as well as a host of other's, just to name a few!!! There was great music, face painting, and four different bounce houses for the children!!! We really enjoyed ourselves!!!
This years fair was so much fun! There was so much to see and do! There were so many amazing food options, art of all styles, fun interactive areas for kids, Gabriel Flores was there putting on Boxing Showcase, so many different styles of Music! Each stage was something different to choose from! Seeing the Mary Jane Girls and Too Short was a highlight of my weekend!! The Rodeo really brought the people out!! I’m so glad that Stockton has made the fair fun again!! Keep up the great work SJC FAIRGROUNDS!!!
