Competitive Exhibits

San Joaquin County, also known as the breadbasket of the world, produces more than 300 different crops within the county boundaries. The byproducts generated from these commodities range from wine to fresh fruit to milk to feed for livestock.

The mission of the Lodi Grape Festival is to celebrate the agricultural industry and heritage in the County and each year we will choose a new “featured commodity” that will be showcased in every department.
