The annual festival with a carnival all weekend includes a Carrot Festival Parade on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014, and Family Carrot Cookoff on Feb. 9.<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar with Holtville it is located at the very\u00a0bottom of the state near Yuma, Arizona &amp; Mexicali, Mexico. The weather is spectacular right now with the weekend temperature expected to be 76 to 80 degrees. RV&#8217;ers (snowbirds) head to Holtville in the winter for affordable living, then high-tale it out of town when summer comes around. \u00a0From Los Angeles it&#8217;s about 220 miles or a 3.5 hour drive to Holtville. San Diego is around 2 hours (150 miles).
