The Loomis Fruit Shed Fest, the rebranded successor to the long-running Loomis Eggplant Festival, celebrates the Placer County town's agricultural roots at the historic Train Depot Plaza. The free, family-friendly event features local produce, food, crafts, beer and wine, live music, and community fun. The name change broadens the focus from eggplant to the iconic fruit sheds and the wider variety of local crops grown in the Loomis Basin.
