2026 Upland Lemon Festival

Take Metrolink's San Bernardino line to the Upland Station for the annual Upland Lemon Festival, which is returning to downtown Upland from Friday, June 5, to Sunday, June 7. This free, community-driven festival celebrates Upland's citrus heritage.

The event will showcase dozens of varietal food vendors, offer daily live entertainment (including a carnival and the beloved vocal contest, "Lemon Idol"), showcase a range of local businesses offering specialty goods and more.  

This 29-year tradition first debuted in 1997 as a simple way to celebrate the city's citrus industry, but has since grown to be the premier multi-day event in the Inland Empire, traditionally attracting more than 60,000 attendees each year.  

At the Crafters Corner, visit a multitude of booths featuring local and regional businesses that sell various arts and crafts, retail items, and specialty goods.

At "non-profit row," learn about and support the incredible regional organizations dedicated to making a positive impact in the community. Meet passionate representatives from various non-profits, become educated about their missions, and find out how you can get involved.

Throughout the weekend, tune into five stages featuring over 50 performances. This year’s entertainment lineup includes high-energy tribute bands, local favorites, and crowd-thrilling karaoke. Main Stage Highlights include performances from Flashback Heart Attack, Journey USA, Uptown Funk, So Petty, Stevie Nicks Illusion, and more.
