The fourth annual event marking the city's anniversary is bigger than ever.
Fountain Valley is holding its fouth annual Summerfest this upcoming
weekend. The Fountain Valley Summerfest is not only a four-day weekend to come and have an abundance of fun, but it is also a form of celebration, appreciation and respect toward 55 years of community excellence in Fountain Valley.

include carnival rides, foods and beverage booths, game booths, local entertainment, exhibitors, non-profit organizations, live music, a beer and wine garden, Battle of the Bands, Live Sports Tent, the Fountain Valley Classic Car and Truck Show, and last but not least, the Dog Day Afternoon Event.
Thursday night will be the preview night for Summerfest. Preview night will be kicked off with the opening of many different activities and carnival games just so that people will get a preview of what is to come for the actual event starting on Fridday. Not only will activities be available, but all carnival rides will only be $1. The beer and margarita garden will also be open for people to come in and enjoy a nice cool drink, and six gourmet food trucks will be on hand for people to come and try all the delicious foods. The food trucks that will be available
