About Ojai, California

Ojai is a city in Ventura County, California located in the Ojai Valley, northwest of Los Angeles and east of Santa Barbara. The name Ojai is derived from the Ventureño Chumash word ‘Awha’y, meaning moon. The City’s self-styled nickname is “Shangri-La” referencing the natural environment of this health and spirituality-focused region as well as the mystical sanctuary of the 1937 film adaptation of James Hilton’s novel Lost Horizon. The City’s population was 7,461 at the 2010 census.

The City of Ojai is a tourism destination known for its boutique hotels, recreation opportunities, hiking, and farmers’ market of local organic agriculture. It has small businesses specializing in local and ecologically friendly art, design, and home improvement.

Ojai’s culture is heavily focused on ecology, health and organic agriculture, walking/hiking, spirituality, music and local art. Furthermore, there are several festivals in the city such as The Ojai Music Festival (founded in 1947), an annual festival of performances by some of the world’s top musicians and composers, and occurs on the first weekend after Memorial Day. Notable appearances include Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Pierre Boulez, who was festival director in 2003. In early June, often coinciding with the Music Festival, the Ojai Wine Festival is held at Lake Casitas. Over 3,000 wine lovers sample the products of over 30 wineries.
