Leo Carrillo Ranch is my favorite place to walk from my house! Such an amazing treasure in Carlsbad.

WILD WEST @ Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park The City of Carlsbad’s annual Wild West Fest will take place on May 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park and will include western-themed activities, a salsa contest, root beer tastings, pony rides, and a mechanical bull ride for kids. Admission will be free to the community but activity cards will be offered for $6 and include access to the pony and mechanical bull rides, souvenir photos with authentically ...dressed cowboys and cowgirls, and western-themed crafts. Root beer tastings will also be offered for $3 and participants can taste five different root beers in addition to receiving a root beer float. Special Events Supervisor Rachael Shay explained, Wild West Fest is a step back in time since Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park was once an actual working ranch. The Wild West is something beach communities like Carlsbad don’t often get to experience. It’s a fun change of pace that also looks back at the city’s heritage.
