 Good old days

When I first moved to Pacific Grove 17 years ago I couldn’t believe what a big event this little seaside town puts together.  I even have been in the parade a couple of times with my then 97 year old mother riding in the front seat of my convertible.  What a thrill it was for both of us!

It’s the largest arts and crafts show in the county, and features over 225 art and food vendors in downtown Pacific Grove on Lighthouse Avenue.  There will be live entertainment on five stages with old-fashioned games and contests, and lots of family fun.
