According to their website, the Ojai Valley Lavender Festival was created in 2004 with a mission: to educate the public and promote the many uses of lavender. So their entertainment includes both musical performances by gifted local artists throughout the day, and presentations on lavender and how to use it. Scheduled speakers will be talking about aromatherapy, sustainable farming and cooking with lavender for all of us “foodies”.
So, you’re cordially invited to come and enjoy a day of lavender, Ojai-style–and maybe even sample some lavender ice cream, lemon bars or even lavender creme brulee in one of the local restaurants!
The Ojai Valley Lavender Festival runs from 10 am to 5 pm today in downtown Ojai’s Libbey Park, at East Ojai Avenue near South Signal Street. Admission is free. Please, no smoking or alcohol, or pets.
