Festival History

Since the California Poppy Festival’s inception, several thousand visitors visited the Antelope Valley area to catch a view of the gorgeous poppies found in the area.
The California Poppy Festival’s location is near the Lancaster Museum/Art Gallery, which provides an abundance of information for visitors to the festival.
