The Strawberry Festival is the second largest community sponsored event in the western US, second only to the Rose Parade. The festival features a star-studded parade and the world s largest strawberry shortcake. In 1998, the Garden Grove Community Foundation was founded to showcase and promote Garden Grove regionally. After 125 years, Garden Grove has grown to become a dynamic and thriving city with a strong sense of community and colorful history. Desire for improvement and the ability to make changes were the strengths of Garden Grove s past and now they represent the building blocks for the future.
Garden Grove is truly a Renaissance City and a great place to live, learn and play.
