Olive Festival
Everything olive is celebrated from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. August 20, 2011, in Paso Robles, California.
The eighth annual Paso Robles Olive Festival, sponsored by the Paso Robles Main Street Association, takes place downtown in the City Park.
Producers from all over California will have olive oil and products made from olives available for sampling. There’s an olive dish cooking contest, a culinary row, wine and beer tasting and (be still, my heart!) free olive oil ice cream.
