San Joaquin Asparagus Festival, Stockton

Sunscreen

No hour by hour program for us to look at and pick what we wanted to see. Walked all the way to the far end last, and found that there was a stage with all day entertainment. all the food was down that aisle too. Too big to walk and toooo crowded. We will not go to this again. The old one years ago was too spread out too. The stage was a block away so we had to walk through the crowed street to get to that stage. We went home after because we did not want to walk back to the park and back again to the car. The so called handicap parking was a long way from the front gate. Also we didn't know which way to go to find the front gate. The exit was hard to find too. paint the street or something. I am a festival nut, but can no longer walk all over the place like I use too.

A total waste of gas driving from San Francisco to Stockton for that event. BOOOOO!!!! I expected to see a celebration of asparagus, (with prep demonstrations, recipes, asparagus ice cream, growers booths, arts & crafts, etc.) but there was none of that. Only one vendor selling greasy fried asparagus, for which buyers waited amazingly patiently in two-hour lines. It was ridiculous and very disappointing. They should have called it the Stockton car clubs festival. The cars were the only interesting thing about that event. Please, Groupon, don't sell tickets to that festival again. It proves that you are not doing your research in favor of your supporters. Bad! Bad! Bad!

they really need to move it back by the water......if they do that I will come back but I will not go back to the fair grounds where it is dirty, I would like to have tried some fried asparagus but the set up in the warehouse was badly executed. would have liked to see more asparagus being sold threw out the festival.
