The 71st annual Lompoc Valley Flower Festival is set to kick off on Thursday, coinciding with the first day of summer. This year’s event, themed “Shoot for the Stars,” will run for four days, concluding on Sunday.
The majority of the festivities will take place at Ryon Memorial Park, located at 800 W. Ocean Ave. The festival gates will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Admission is priced at $5, with free entry for children aged 12 and under. Additionally, entry to the festival will be free for everyone before 1 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.
Flower Festival Queen Madison McCarley, crowned last Saturday, and her court have already been actively participating in pre-festival activities and are expected to have a busy schedule throughout the event.
