Artichoke Festival New Location
Published on: May 27, 2014
The 55th Annual Artichoke Festival has a new name and new location. It is now called Castroville Artichoke Food Festival & Wine Festival, but you’ll no longer find the main event in Castroville. It has moved to Monterey Fairgrounds in Monterey to accommodate wine, food and focus on culinary aspects of the industry. One element of the event, however, provides tours of the artichoke fields in Castroville, part of the price you pay for admission to the event, which costs $10 for an adult admission. This is the show where Marilyn Monroe got her start serving as a beauty queen. The event has a long tradition honoring artichokes. Almost all artichokes in the U.S. come from this region close to the coast.
