It’s All About the Avocado at Carpinteria’s Favorite Festival

What’s so fun about peace, love, and avocados? Well, just about everything. From the bountiful expressions of what’s surely our butteriest, nuttiest and most versatile locally grown fruit — in ice cream, beer, song, lotion, candy, and guacamole form — to the 60 live band performances, 50 arts and crafts and commercial vendors, and loads of delicious food purveyors, Carpinteria’s annual California Avocado Festival was once again a blast! 

Independent photographer Ingrid Bostrom — a Carpinteria local herself — was there to catch all of the green glorious moments of the 2023 festival, held Friday, October 6, through Sunday, October 8, in lovely downtown Carpinteria.
