The Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce invites community members to celebrate the return of the Goleta Lemon Festival, presented by Rusty’s Pizza.
Celebrating 30 years, the festival will be held Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at Girsh Park in Goleta.
A highlight of The Goleta Lemon Festival is the Santa Barbara Airport Kids Zone. Activities include archery tag, bubble fun, euro bungee, double slide, king of the jungle bounce house, obstacle courses, toddler jump, carousel bounce house, rock wall, train, slot cars, and mini golf.
Activity wristbands will be sold at the festival for $35, but are available for $30 if pre-purchased online before Wednesday, Sept. 27 at LemonFestival.com.
The festival also features the county’s largest interactive display of Fire, Police, and Emergency Services at Safety Street, presented by ExxonMobil.
Visitors can meet emergency services workers and get an up-close look at their state-of-the-art vehicles and technologies. Kids can explore fire trucks and take a photo with Smokey Bear.
The festival depends on volunteers, ages 14 and up, who help plan the festival and assist over the weekend. Apply for volunteer opportunities at LemonFestival.com.
