CHULA VISTA, Calif. — 2023 EVENT:
Chula Vista’s Third Avenue transformed into all things lemon during the 26th Annual Lemon Festival on Saturday.
This year’s festival included two stages of live music, a lemon cook-off competition, a kids zone, delicious food options, arts and crafts vendors and a wine and beer garden.
CBS 8 was proud to be part of this year's event and celebrate Chula Vista' rich agricultural history. The city was once known as the “Lemon Capitol of the World.” Although the lemon groves are no more, many of the homes in the area have their own lemon trees.
