Ventura County Fair

Every year, early August our little town sparkles with bright lights, fireworks, serious music, extraordinary rides, spectacular fair food and a wild rodeo. It’s a must-do time in our little city!

Late August, grab your dancing cowboy boots and join us for some book kicking fun!

Spencer MacKenzie Throw Down Cornhole Festival

Held in late August, this local favorite has gained national attention. The street closes off and the music, competition and fun begins!

Winter Wine Walk

Early December, join the locals and sip, sing and shop downtown Main Street. It’s guaranteed to snow too!

Ventura Harbor Parade of Lights

Mid-December the Ventura harbor lights up with a parade of boats, carnival rides, food, music, and fireworks. It’s a magical way to start the holiday festivities!

Surf Beer Fest

Early October, when the weather is still warm and breezy, head to the beach for beers, ciders and kombucha with a surf twist of giant beer pong, cornhole, food trucks and music!

Music Under the Stars

Every weekend in July and August, sit under the stars and listen to a fantastic line up of wonderful music genres. It’s a tradition worth doing!

Local College Music & Theater Events

There’s theater, chamber music, orchestra, opera and choirs. Something for everyone!
