Our Title Sponsor:   

 Come to Oakdale’s Annual Chocolate Festival, which is held the

 third weekend in May each year.  The Chocolate Festival main

 activities are located at the junction of Highway 120 and 108

 at Wood Park and surrounding area.  This is the setting for music,

 a variety of entertainment and of course CHOCOLATE. 

 Stroll though the unique arts & crafts booths and wide variety

 of commercial vendors.  Plus, there’s a taste to satisfy every pallet. 

 The food court offers a wide variety of foods such as, giant onion

 rings, Lockeford Sausage, funnel cakes, smoothies, Chinese and the

 all American favorite hot dogs.  Not to mention many food vendors

 have some sort of Chocolate.  Then join all the chocoholics for a

 grand tour of Chocolate Avenue where you will find various

 Chocolate vendors such as Ghirardelli, Sconza, Dove, Yamaguchi’s

 famous Chocolate Seafood Gumbo, chocolate fudges, truffles,

 chocolate ice cream, and chocolate cheese cake.   Take a moment,

 relax, and watch our celebrity Chef’s perform their wonders with

 Chocolate on the cooking stage.   

        Hold your hats as the Spirits of the Old West venture you on a journey back to the old west. The brawny western actors and their shady ladies step you back into a time where the lawless battle against the law in an old town showdown performance.  Watch for the snake oil salesman who knows what he’ll try to sell ya’.  There will be a gun safety for the kids at each of their performances.  Across from the western town you will find a large agricultural display featuring a variety of agricultural products grown or produced in Stanislaus County.  Our leading commodities are milk and almonds valued at over $620 million dollars.  A stroll through the Agricultural Display will prove to be both entertaining and informative.
