Selma Raisin Festival

Selma's signature annual festival at Lincoln Park, held late April into May, with a carnival, craft and food booths, and the crowning of the Raisin Queen. Now in its late 40s of annual editions. The Raisin Queen crowning is a genuine local tradition unique to Selma, tying the festival directly to the town's raisin-industry identity rather than being a generic spring carnival. Its multi-day run and long history, approaching half a century, make it the clear centerpiece of Selma's annual calendar.
