What to expect from the Poway Spring Festival
Ever been to Poway’s Fall Festival? Anticipating a massive turnout from across the greater San Diego area, the Poway Spring Festival will feature hundreds of local vendors and talented crafters. You can look forward to yummy local food trucks, an interactive kids’ zone, and fantastic live music throughout the day. Car enthusiasts will be thrilled by the popular Madame Mechanic Classic Car Show, and adults can relax and unwind in the dedicated beer and wine garden.
Poway – a look back in time
This vibrant modern festival is a wonderful reflection of the city hosting it. Proudly known as “The City in the Country,” Poway boasts a rich history. The area’s roots stretch back centuries to the indigenous Kumeyaay people, with the name believed to mean ‘the meeting of little valley’ or ‘watering hole.’ In the late 19th century, the town served as a vital stagecoach stop connecting San Diego and Escondido. What was once a quiet agricultural community (famous for its peaches, grapes, and dairy) has gracefully evolved into a suburban oasis that still cherishes its rural, historic charm.
Mark your calendars for May 31st and come celebrate local culture, history, and springtime fun.
