First of all– a very happy Mother’s Day weekend, to you and your Mom! And all the other special women who’ve passed down their favorite crafts.
Now–in case Mom loves lavender (and who doesn’t?), here’s a date you and she might want to keep in mind.
On Saturday, June 27th, the Twelfth Annual Ojai Valley Lavender Festival is happening! This is a day-long celebration of all things lavender, with lavender-themed art on display, a variety of handmade-only crafts offerings (lavender and otherwise) and live entertainment, all day, at the Gazebo in Ojai’s Libbey Park.
While past Lavender Festivals have included lavender ice cream, lavender lemonade and artisan soaps, not everything has to be lavender-related. Crafters have been on hand, in the past, with jewelry, quilts, accessories, stained-glass mobiles, and all kinds of other cool (handmade-only) offerings.
You may very well like to plan a “girls’ weekend away” in Ojai for you and Mom, to check this one out. Or, if you’d both like to help out, the Ojai Valley Lavender Festival’s Facebook page says they always welcome volunteers, too!
The Twelfth Annual Ojai Valley Lavender Festival happens on Saturday, June 27th, from 10 am to 5 pm in Libbey Park, located between South Montgomery and South Signal Streets in downtown Ojai. Admission is free.
