Save the Date - 65th Almond Blossom Festival 2027
February 25th-28th, 2027
What is the Almond Blossom Festival?
The Almond Blossom Festival is Ripon’s largest tradition of the year with an entire weekend of celebrations and events. Beginning in 1962, the Almond Blossom Festival is steeped in history and has become more than just a festival, but a season of tradition, memories, and Ripon comradery.
The Almond Blossom Festival is always the last FULL weekend of February with this year’s dates ranging from Thursday, February 25th- Sunday, February 28th, 2027. There are many events that happen around Ripon that weekend, but the festival itself is put on and run by the Ripon Chamber of Commerce. Chamber events include- The Miss Almond Blossom/Miss Ripon competition (see Miss Ripon Page for more information), the carnival at Mistlin Sports Park, the vendor fair at Mistlin Sports Park, the Fun Run, the Almond Blossom Parade, and the Diaper Derby.
This year we are proud to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Almond Blossom Festival and honor the traditions and history of our town.
