FIESTA Carmel Valley's Big Event
Always the First Full Weekend in August

About the Carmel Valley Fiesta

In 1989 the unincorporated village of Carmel Valley celebrated its Centennial after a group of local residents discovered the local post office was established in 1889 and decided to have a parade to celebrate its centennial.

That decision expanded into a weekend festival of a parade, 10K race, music, food booths, arts & crafts, etc. The locals had such a great time that talk began to perpetuate the event annually, but to hold it together required a sponsoring group. The Kiwanis Club of Carmel Valley seemed the logical organization and the Fiesta was born.

The week of activities begin with the Hoopla BBQ on Friday night at the Trail and Saddle Club with live music and a silent auction. The rest of the weekend is at the Carmel Valley Community Park featuring: arts and crafts, rides, food vendors and free concerts. The Fiesta Car Show, Run for the Sun, is the feature event on Saturday. The very popular and entertaining Doggie Show is our feature event on Sunday. The Fiesta is culminated by the Grand Prize Raffle Drawing at 3 pm on Sunday. The winner wins a one week stay at a large casa in Costa Rice plus $1500 towards travel expenses. Need not be present to win.
