This year’s festival is scheduled to take place from September 5th to 15th, 2024, in Fresno, California. The Giant Grape Stomp is a unique and messy experience that allows participants to let loose and have some fun. Participants will be assigned to teams of four and given large wooden tubs filled with fresh grapes. The teams will then compete to see who can crush the most grapes with their feet in a set amount of time. This year’s Giant Grape Stomp will be held on September 8th and 9th at the Fresno County Fairgrounds. The event will feature multiple sessions throughout the day, providing ample opportunities for participants to join in the grapey revelry. “The Giant Grape Stomp is a highlight of our festival and a favorite among our attendees,” said festival organizer Sarah Paul. “It’s a chance for people to experience the joy and chaos of grape crushing, and to celebrate the Fresno region’s deep connection to the grape industry.” In addition to the Giant Grape Stomp, the festival will offer a wide range of activities and attractions, including live music, food vendors, arts and crafts, and educational exhibits. The Sun-Maid Raisin Festival also celebrates the region’s agricultural heritage, showcasing the importance of raisins and other dried fruits to the local economy. Tickets for the Giant Grape Stomp and other festival events are available at the Fresno Fairgrounds Box Office or online. Advance purchase is recommended, as tickets tend to sell out quickly.
