Chula Vista residents gather around Magic 92.5's booth at the 13th annual Lemon Festival

There wasn’t one thing sour about MAGIC 92.5’s part in the 13th Annual Lemon Festival held on August 9th.  Thousands of people participated in the event at Chula Vista’s Third Avenue Village, celebrating the city’s historical (self-proclaimed) title of “Lemon Capital of the World.”

The event, which enjoyed a wide variety of sponsors, featured three stages with entertainment for adults and children as well as delicious food options, a visit to the Chula Vista Heritage Museum, a car show, shopping at specialty stores, and arts galore.

XHRM offered chances for adults to win free prizes and for kids, the event was especially sweet with a Fun Zone that offered carnival rides, bungee flying, rock climbing and pony rides.
