2022 Banana Festival is Arriving at Port Hueneme

PORT HUENEME— The Port of Hueneme will host its annual Banana Festival on Sept. 4 from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. The free event welcomes guests of all ages to tour the port to enjoy live music, tasty treats, and a marketplace to shop for handcrafted and boutique items. In addition, there will be a kid’s zone for the little ones to go bananas. “The port does big business with Chiquita,” said Rose Carbajal from RC & Associates, Strategic Management in the Arts. “This event takes place annually, and I believe this is the 12th year, the last event taking place in 2019, due to the pandemic.” Port tours will be available for festival attendees wishing to view any operations happening that day. This is a rare opportunity to see the port from the sea as the Sunfish will take guests on a tour in and around the port and the naval base. In addition, you can tour the port by land on a comfortable Roadrunner motorcoach. Photo ID will be required for all adults participating. An adult must accompany minors. Waterside port tours and land tours are every half hour. All tours are first come, first serve. Visit the Port Pavilion onsite at the festival...
