For the past couple of years we have eagerly looked forward to the Vista Viking Festival. It has…read morebeen fun to dress up in Viking themed attire and enjoy friends, vendors, entertainment, and good food. The festival was moved to the Vista Antique Gas & Steam Engine museum and it has been a great venue for this two day event held late September. They have Viking games, lots of Mead and Cider vendors, Viking clothing, jewelry, and leather accessories and the music entertainment has been phenomenal. We'll definitely keep returning whenever possible.

Another great turnout for the Viking festival. This year's '25 theme was honoring Valkyrie Ladies…read more How fun. This was the third consecutive year that we've attended. And the amount of people that we know that go here is growing. We meet up with several who also attend this event annually. And recognize lots of other regulars. I literally cannot wait to get the Swedish meatball dinner! It comes with smashed potatoes and lingonberries. Seriously it's the best combo. To drink is to have a drink of the times a cider or particularly a Mead! So many great and local vendors for that! This visit I got to try a free Viking Berry Monster drink. I don't usually drink these but it was actually a pretty nice treat & I liked it. This time around we came prepared with enough cash and credit...and had given ourselves a budget in order to get the drinks, food and just enough to get merch items that we wanted. I finally created a combo oil blend that I had gotten at a Renaissance faire, in No Cali, way back in the 90's! The oil is put into a vile of your choosing. So I picked a small one that doubled as a necklace. Definitely created nostalgia in a mini bottle! So much going on this year! It's a two day event and some stay and attend the entire weekend. Or they just come back the next day. If you like this sort of outing you should go!!!

Love that there is no admission fee and they sell local goods. Perfect for my 3 & 5 year old…read more Love the live music too.

One of my favorite spots during fall! I love the small town vibes! Fallbrook is my favorite so this…read moreis a hidden gem. Before Covid I loved that it wasn't very packed. Family and pet friendly! It's not super big so don't be disappointed if you are expecting a bates nut farm experience. There's a bar with great wine and beer. They have a food truck too on certain days. Stay in the loop following their Instagram. They have live music some nights during the weekend.

Burned again. Literally and figuratively burned…read more On a day with temps reaching 100, we drove a million miles to get to the world famous Avocado Festival. What a jerk I am. It's a big giant street fair, with the same t-shirts, wind chimes, and crappy junk food you find at ANY street fair. If "avocados" were the theme, well, I sure missed it. What happened to festivals where the actual name of the festival was celebrated and there was an actual theme? Now, it's just an excuse for a crowded street fair selling lots of crap. Never again. I hope.

I had the same experience as Craig W. I didn't even think to look for reviews of this festival…read moreuntil after I went and was extremely disappointed. I can't believe it was called an avocado festival, it was just a street fair. And to think I dragged a bunch of friends with me thinking it was going to be the avocadoes galore, boy do I feel bad.

This was my first time attending this festival. I decided to accompany a friend who had been to a…read moreprevious event . It was smaller than I expected and had a $4 entry fee. I got some gyros and baked goods to go. The food was just ok. I probably would not buy it again. The servers were friendly and helpful.

First Greek festival I've ever attended. It was such a joyous event with great food. Lots of people…read morein attendance throughout the day. Right in old downtown at the Temecula civic center. Plenty of vendors and food stations to immerse yourself in. The lines moved pretty quickly. We tried the gyro, moussaka, feta phyllo and souvlaki. Shaded tables and chairs that were kept so clean by all the young gentlemen manning that station. The very talented live band kept the jovial vibe alive to thoroughly enjoy yourself on the sidelines or on the dance floor. Lots of baked goods to choose from the baklava and custard crème filo were our favorites. A beautiful day to celebrate a beautiful culture.

I used to love coming to this corn maze every year, but we missed the last two years. Boy has it…read morechanged. There used to be numbered stations throughout the maze. In the way old days there was trivia at each checkpoint and the card told you which way to turn based on the answer you picked. If you got the right answer you'd be on the right path. Then there was no more trivia, but there were numbered checkpoints so you'd know whether you were on the right path or not. Not as fun, but OK. This year there wasn't even numbered checkpoints. I guess there was a photo of the design you could take a photo of when you paid to enter, but no one told us about that. We ended up hearing about it from someone else in the maze when we asked if they had seen a checkpoint yet. Turns out you really don't need a photo though. It's basically a long walk (took us 45 minutes) through the cornfield. You can't really get lost because any dead ends are super short. There is literally no challenge in it anymore. I was pretty disappointed. It's always been a favorite fall activity for me.

Excellent way to spend the afternoon with kids. They have 4 different bounce houses, food and even…read morebeer/wine in some shade.

This was my first time in a few years to see a real parade in a small urban city of Fallbrook…read more There were ponies, horses, police cars, classic cars, firetrucks, sport teams, sports from public schools and more cars with hydraulics! It was a fun time to people watch and watched a silly boy dancing on the street to the parade. Plus, I saw clowns and Ronald McDonald was a cool clown; made me laugh. I rate this parade 4 stars!

I love our farmer's market! I usually go to the one at the mall on Wednesdays. It's less crowded…read more If you go earlier, around 9:00 or 9:30 am, You get the freshest fruits and vegetables. The prices are a little high but it's well worth it to support our local farmers. The fruits and veggies are always nice and fresh. There aren't nearly as many vendors on Wednesdays but if you are just going for fruits and vegetables you won't be disappointed. Angel Farms is my favorite vendor but I do like them all. Atkins nursery from Fallbrook comes down and they always have local avocados.

It is clearly pretty overpriced buuuut, shopping local beats supporting huge grocery stores,…read more riiight?! The fruit and veggie stands looked very fresh and everyone was very friendly! My one "pet peeve" tho, why so many dogs around when I'm trying to get fresh produce sans dog fur? Gross... they have a "No Dogs Allowed" sign at one of the entrances but perhaps they should invest in multiple signs and hopefully the irresponsible dog owners will follow directions.

The staff are creative, innovative, caring, and true change makers that really care about others. The space is so clean & comfortable. It feels right at home when you walk in.

Ask for help & they will point you in the right direction. Such a needed space for our community! Very high value team, space and location!
