Founded in 1856 and incorporated in 1903, the city of Fairfield, California sits between the metropolitan cities of Sacramento and San Francisco, and with the construction of the Monticello Dam in 1957 became a centralized hub around the production of crops, raising of livestock, and more. The downtown area, which centers around Texas Street, sees large volumes of daily traffic alongside many events and festivals.
Once a year, the Fairfield Tomato & Vine Festival commences on Texas Street to celebrate California’s Heirloom tomato crop. With nearly 25,000 visitors participating in the festivities, the event has grown to feature multi-cultural food, music, dance, and art installations alongside a variety of special exhibits, with sponsors including Budweiser and the Suisun Valley Vintners and Growers Association.
