The first official Grape Day Festival was held on September 9, 1908, in Grape Day Park.

Grapes were one of the most important agricultural products of the Escondido valley.

The festival continues to this day with a parade, food, music, and crafts in honor of Escondido's grape-growing heritage.

This is a picture of the first Grape Day Queen, Margaret Juny, in 1913.
