33rd annual morro bay harbor festival
The 33rd Annual Morro Bay Harbor Festival, held at the water’s edge at the working harbor and which draws nearly 20,000 visitors each year, will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 4th and 5th. This year’s Festival will be doubly outstanding with the City of Morro Bay continuing its year-long celebration of 50 years as an incorporated City. The Festival promises to be outstanding and profitable to local charities. It’s also heartwarming that its annual celebration of a working fishing harbor is also a yearly fundraiser for nearly 30 local, non-profit organizations. The Festival will feature many of the popular events visitors love—including the Oyster Eating Contest, Kids Cove, Maritime exhibits, and shopping at a wide variety of art and crafts booths—much of it created by local artisans. Additionally, there will be the popular delicious barbecued albacore kabobs, a wide variety of other festival food treats, local wine and beer and more. The Festival will also feature several outstanding bands. Patrons of this year’s Harbor Festival can save $2 per admission ticket by purchasing them in advance on the Festival’s website for $10.00 per adult, $5.00 for children ages 6-12. Admission for children 5 and under is free. For more information call (805) 772-1155 or by email: info@mbhf.com.
