Stockton’s Asparagus Festival returns for Mother’s Day weekend after a two-year hiatus

Four-year-old Jillian Osborne tries to get back up on her feet for the fifth time in a row only to fall and tumble inside the water walking ball at the San Joaquin Asparagus Festival. Her mother and her grandmother laugh and cheer for her as she continues playing inside the ball, while sipping on their asparagus margaritas on the windy spring afternoon in Stockton.  

Stockton welcomed back the Asparagus Festival for Mother’s Day weekend at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds from Friday to Monday after a two-year pandemic break.
