For longer than I have been on this planet the Jewish Food festival has been taking place in Stockton at the Temple Israel. This year marks the 37th Annual Festival which will bring together people from all walks of life to enjoy the food and drink they provide.

It will be held this Sunday, June 6, 2010 from 9:30 A.M to 3:30 P.M.  According to the food fair co- chair, Karen Foley “The most popular activity at the food fair is eating because the freshly made food is hard to find in local stores.”  Choice of food is a bagel with lox and cream cheese or corned beef sandwich.   Each selection is $10.00 which includes a deli brunch of cole slaw, kosher dill pickle, juice, tea or coffee.

Ever had a BBQ bagel? I didn’t know but this is a method to making them and will be there at the festival for you to try!  Also on tap to be there will be live music, a silent auction and beer tasting from Valley Brew.

Let the fun begin! In exactly one week from today the 25th anniversary of the Stockton Asparagus Festival will take place at the Downtown Stockton Waterfront.  As with previous years, the amount of fun, activities, entertainment will not disappoint.  Perhaps the best and most important part about the Asparagus Festival is the proceeds of the festival are directly injected back into local charities!

The proceeds of the Stockton Asparagus Festival are shared by over 100 charities that are represented by the Spear-It Staff volunteers. Each charity receives a “donation” based on a schedule of units, or hours, for the work performed by the volunteers.  In 2008 the Asparagus Festival was able to distribute $461,912 among the charities involved. In the past 23 years, over $4.5 million dollars has been contributed back to local charities directly from the Stockton Asparagus Festival.

When: April 23rd -25th
When: Downtown Stockton Waterfront (see map)
Times: 10am-7pm  All Days
