Cadence

Annual · early June

The San Leandro Cherry Festival is a beloved Bay Area tradition since 1909, celebrating the city's historic cherry-orchard roots with a morning parade and a free street festival along W. Estudillo Ave. The cherry content is genuine — farm stalls selling fresh cherries and the crowd-pleasing pie eating contest — though most of the 150+ vendor booths are artisan, food, and community organizations rather than cherry-specific. Worth it for the parade atmosphere and a taste of old-school East Bay community spirit.
