PASO ROBLES — The popular Paso Robles Olive & Lavender Festival returns to Paso Robles City Park on Saturday, May 9, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering a full day celebrating California-grown olive and lavender artisans.

Hosted by the Downtown Paso Robles Main Street Association, the free-admission festival invites visitors to stroll beneath shaded trees while enjoying premium olive oil tastings, live lavender essential oil distillation demonstrations by Hambly Lavender Farm, a curated artisan marketplace, specialty foods, lavender honey gelato, and educational demonstrations.

Downtown Paso Robles shops will also participate with special offers for festival attendees, and the official festival program will highlight vendors and activities. Known for its walkable, family-friendly atmosphere, the festival has become a signature Central Coast spring tradition.

Additional vendor announcements and demonstration schedules will be released in the coming months.
