PEACE, LOVE & GUACAMOLE. The California Avocado Festival in Carpentaria

No host is available or willing to step up. Meetup is being moved to next year.

The event itself is still occurring as it is organized by a city booster organization. As a meetup however we will not be able to organize as a meetup. All meetup events must be hosted. We can only be in one place at a time... and we can not be there on this day. Hence.... No host is available. And nobody is willing to step up.

If you wish to step up (for a future event)...send me a message and I can change your status to Event Organizer and you can post events.

What follows is the original write up.

We are going on the road to beautiful Carpentaria for the Annual California Avocado Festival.

The event is one of the largest free music festivals in California with over 75 music acts on four stages.

Past headliners include ska band The Upbeat.

The Festival is home to the world's largest vat of guacamole!

We'll do some sightseeing
