Annual Events & Festivals
Celebrate Lodi’s spirit year-round with vibrant festivals, seasonal traditions, and community gatherings that showcase our wine, culture, and charm.
In Lodi, every season brings something worth celebrating. Our annual events and festivals are more than just dates on a calendar — they’re invitations to immerse yourself in the community, connect with local traditions, and create unforgettable memories. From the rich aromas of freshly harvested grapes at the Lodi Grape Festival to the culinary delights of the Lodi Wine & Food Festival, each event reflects the flavors and creativity of our region.
Spring brings farmers markets brimming with fresh produce and artisan goods. Summer nights light up with live music under the stars, classic car shows, and street fairs where neighbors greet each other by name. Autumn is harvest season, when wine lovers flock to our vineyards to experience the magic of crush. Winter glows with holiday parades, tree lightings, and cozy tasting room gatherings.
Whether you’re sipping Zinfandel while listening to jazz, enjoying a farm-to-fork dinner in the countryside, or watching fireworks over the Mokelumne River, you’ll find yourself part of a community that loves to come together. Lodi’s events are designed for visitors and locals alike, offering an authentic taste of our culture, food, and lifestyle.
Mark your calendar and join us in celebrating life the Lodi way — full of flavor, music, and shared moments that you’ll carry home long after the festival lights dim.
