Buy a wristband & City wine glass at the booth set up in front of Bella Cose boutique on the corner of El Camino Real, in the block that the Carlton Hotel is located in. You will see it. Unlimited wine tasting & appetizers, & some deserts in many downtown shops. Art is displayed in some of them. Many wineries participate & provide the wine tasting. Some shops have 2 wineries posted inside. Sometimes there is live music. This event is really fun and keeps growing. They host other events as well, like Sept 12th, was Concert in the Creek, an outdoor stage was set up and for a small ticket price there were bands playing all afternoon/evening. Around the holidays there are many other events as well.

I like that the museum is small. It means you can pop in for 15 or 20 minutes, enjoy the art…read moreinstallation and then move on with your day. It's free and parking is located on the street. A parking lot would be ideal. - The docent at the front of the Museum is very knowledgeable about local art expression opportunities. Chatting with her was such a pleasure. - I like that the Museum offered swag for purchase but I feel like the quality of the items could it be improved such as 100% organic cotton and a slightly more edgy branding/color palette for the clothing items. I would love to purchase something to support y'all.

"Small but mighty!" said the nice lady at the front desk…read more It is small, and currently there were two neat exhibits in the building that is also surrounded by a all the way mural - Meter & Time (by MOMO). Alicia Adamerovich's Conundrums is what you might call surreal, but the artist preferred abstract. The exhibit is a blend of traditional paintings on canvas to a variety of sculptures that have no explanation but the title and your imagination that asks you to think your own meaning up while you sit with it. The more traditional, but impressionist exhibit is Peter Krashes' Passage Through. Krashes combines new and old works to urban images that are often overlooked. The works also show the actions that help shape a neighborhood. My favorite was either Public Seedbomb or Cup on a Fence. Free. I thought it was nice, but don't expect to be blown away. The exhibits were interesting and the support staff were very kind. They answered questions, and were very proud of their little museum. If you have time, why wouldn't you stop to see what's in there. Check it out.

Firestone knows how to throw a beer festival! This was my fourth year attending and to be honest,…read moreit was the one I enjoyed the most. More live music than other years, delicious food from local businesses, delicious beer, and the weather was absolutely perfect. Security is tight- they check everything and then double check everything. Tickets are a hot commodity, so if you plan on buying them...get all your devices ready when they go on sale. These babies sell out in a hot minute. 5 stars! See you next year! #fwibf

I was a little hesitant to come given the price tag but my friend has gone every year and swore it…read moreis worth the cost of admission. Once you get inside everything but merch is included so there is no other costs once you're there. The breweries here represent the best of the best. There will be lines for those places but there are plenty of other great breweries that had no lines and equally as good beers without the hype. Fidens was one of my faves and I visited their tent often to get a line beer for other popular spots. There are 4000 people here but you'd hardly know that from the efficiency and the way it is spread out. The food was so good too. One pizza spot just kept putting out whole pies to take slices from. The next day we went wine tasting at two rooms that charged $30-45 per taste! Given that $80 got me 8 "samples" of wine the cost for this all inclusive beer festival doesn't seem that outlandish.

I, along with my boyfriend and another couple, attended the 15th Annual Paso Pinot & Paella…read moreFestival at Templeton Park in 2018. It was completely different than what we expected but still exceeded our expectations. I'm glad I looked online at photos of years past as many folks brought blankets, chairs, and event popup canopies to relax under. So definitely don't forget these items if you intend to make the afternoon as comfortable as possible. Pinot & Paella Festival is a local tradition. It's a smaller festival, capping out at about 500 tickets sold. Proceeds benefit local Youth Performing Arts, so you can feel even better about drinking that glass of wine. The park itself was a fabulous location. The large trees provided nice shade in the warm afternoon. Even with the temps capping out at 95, the shade temps with a nice coastal breeze didn't feel above the mid/high 80s. The vendors for wine were solid, but basic. The real star of the show was the paella. There were at least 15 different entrants into this Paella competition. Each one featured a different style of paella. Some were seafood based, one was vegan, others traditional. They all were delicious and amazing though. My only suggestion would be to provide nicer porta potties, and possibly more of them. Just two were not enough for the festival. There also didn't seem to be any security. Most of what I saw were folks wearing security shirts but were also eating and drinking at the event. It's a slower paced festival that is mostly made up of locals. I mean, it is a Sunday afternoon, after all. So if you're into a leisurely Sunday festival like this - by all means try it out. At the very least you'll leave stuffed with paella!

My niece Hana graduated from California Poly Technical State University in San Luis Obispo…read moreCalifornia on 06/16/19. The graduation ceremony was held in Alex G Spanos Stadium. This is an enormous venue that seats over 11,000 people. The seating along with the entire infield being filled w/graduates must have had over 20,000 people. The stage was at the south end of the field with the graduates facing the stage and the entire infield filled with graduates and family. The program had the graduates by listed by major. They seemed to call out by majors, afterwards they did individuals. Thank God Hana was near the front of the individuals. After her name was called she came out and met with the group for pictures. Yeah second niece in 2 months to graduate from college

Yes it's a predecessor to the big theater and has been showing concerts speakers plays Opera and many other things seemingly forever. It's a great theater the seats work great the staff is always nice the snack bars a little lacking, but I don't go there for the snacks I go there for the shows and the last two I've seen have been just excellent so whoever is doing the booking is doing a great job. Keep it up and we'll keep attending thank you Spanos theater

The VIP lounge was amazing! We had individual charcuterie cups to choose from. There was an amazing oyster bar from Morro Bay. The boys shucked 1000 oysters for us to enjoy. We had choices of two wine bar and a brewery. The next station was inside the building and it had lasagna tastings and froze with twenty other wineries. There was six outdoor sections with wine and food. My favorite was the Austin Hope ice cream and wine bar where they put olive oil and salt on the ice cream cups paired with our wine. I spun the wheel at Calcarious and won a pizza cutter and wine bag. Justin gave us pouring and a wristband for an after party. J Lohr gave us customized bandanas. The tuna tastings were delish! If you are to go to one wine event of the year this would be it! Amazing wine festival! Happy Yelping!
