Lodi Grape Festival September 12-15, 2013
A Whole Bunch of Fun!
The Festival’s mission and main purpose is to promote the agriculture and agricultural
products of San Joaquin County, and to offer diverse forms of agricultural education.
The Festival strives to present unique, family – oriented exhibits that not only
entertain, but educate and enlighten.
In addition, the Festival provides an opportunity for many other non-profit groups
to raise funds for community and charitable projects. From Lions Clubs to 4-H Clubs
countywide, from the Boy Scouts to the Future Farmers of America, from Farm Bureau
to Grange Associations, organizations raise money by selling products at the Festival
or by entering the wide variety of agriculture-related competitive exhibits offered
each year. Well over $150,000 is raised annually by non-profit groups as a result
of the Festival, in addition to the more than $30,000 in prize money paid out by
the Festival each year to individuals and groups for their exhibits.
