CASTROVILLE, Calif. – Ocean Mist Farms will help the artichoke capital of the world, Castroville, Calif., celebrate its 52nd Annual Artichoke Festival May 20 and 21.
The residents of Castroville began celebrating the artichokes harvested in area fields with the first festival in 1959. As the country’s passion for artichokes grew, so did the festival’s roster of activities which now includes an agro-art competition, musical entertainment, cooking demos, wine tastings, field tours, farmers market and an arts and craft fair.
With headquarters located in Castroville, Ocean Mist Farms is a proud sponsor of the annual festival tradition.
All festival events take place in downtown Castroville, for more information visit www.artichoke-festival.org and vote online for the 2011 festival prince and princess who will receive college scholarships.
