Celebrating the avocado
The 38th annual California Avocado Festival returns this week — Friday, 1–10 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Sunday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. — and Carpinterians are preparing their best guacamole and setting out their avo-wear for weekend fun on Linden Avenue. In the meantime, check out a recap of the 2024 avocado season on pg. 9 of this week’s print, presented by Two Trumpets Communications. Defying expectations, the 2024 California avocado season delivered 350 million pounds, and early expectations are calling for a bumper avocado crop in 2025, exceeding 2024. KAREN GRAF
