I also came across a note about the Avocado Festival in Carpinteria in October. The website already has dates for 2010, October 1-3. Besides a guacamole contest, there is a biggest avocado contest. Last year's whopper weighed in at 3.03 pounds. Besides that there's music, booths, and lots of chips. And they're asking for volunteers--yum!
Linden Street is the place to shop--places like Porch and Whimsy Antiques. Other things to do include the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History, the tide pools at Carpinteria State Beach, and the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve. A couple of choice restaurants--Sly's chophouse and Chamomile Cafe.
