In 1983, one of the City of Oxnard Councilman, Dr. Tsujio Kato, was asked by PR Consultant Terry Pimsleur if there would be any interest in creating a strawberry festival in Oxnard, California. Strawberries were very important to him because Dr. Kato’s uncle was the most significant grower of strawberries in the area at that time.

A strawberry festival is an event and celebration in many towns in North America. In most instances, areas around these towns are, or have been, deeply involved in the production and marketing of strawberries , and the festivals are usually held in late spring around the time of the strawberry harvest.
The Watsonville/Salinas strawberry zone in Santa Cruz/Monterey, and the Oxnard zone in Ventura, contribute heavily to those concentrations. Production has risen steadily from 2005 when 34,300 acres (13,900 ha) were harvested through 2017 when 38,200 acres (15,500 ha) were harvested. The 2005 season's harvest sold for $1,122,834,000. [1]
A spate of heavy rains in California that have interfered with the strawberry harvest are having a negative economic impact on farmworkers and may soon hit consumers in the wallet too.
