Every year on the first Saturday of June, a big street fair in downtown San Leandro celebrates the historic start of the annual cherry harvest season. Music, food trucks, handicrafts and souvenirs, carnival food, a parade, activities for kids, artisanal food products, and of course, a bunch of stands selling cherries and cherry-based products like pies, scented candles, and cherry lemonade. The festival, which has been held since 1909, brings a festive atmosphere of community pride. Check the schedule in advance if you want to see the pie-eating contest!
