CASTROVILLE, Calif. (KION-TV) - Monterey County's North County Parks and Recreation Board is bringing back the Artichoke Festival after a big push from the Castroville community.

There will be two versions of the artichoke festival next year. The first event will feature around 50 vendors and take place along Castroville's main drag, near the recreation center.

A second, larger event will take place between October and November.

Organizers say that the goal is to engage local seniors and kids while providing an opportunity for local businesses to get involved.

They also stress that both events will be alcohol free.
