On Sunday, August 12 Chula Vista hosts Lemon Festival, celebrating its history as the "largest lemon-growing center in the world" in the early twentieth century. After the completion of the 1888 Sweetwater Dam, Chula Vista's "lemon orchards produced $1 million in revenue" in 1931. The title has since been lost, but the heritage remains.
Lemon Festival "will feature live entertainment on three stages, a beer garden, handcrafters, international food, a kids’ fun zone and lemons galore." The event will include pie eating and hula hoop contests, and showcase the Chula Vista Academy of Music and Dance, Ballet Folklorico, and more. For a full listing of performance and events see the Lemon Festival website.
