n-person activities, festivals, celebrations, live music, camps, and more just continue to multiply as we cross our fingers and watch pandemic restrictions retreat behind us. There’s so much going on it’s hard to keep track, but don’t worry!

Arts Editor Caleb Wiseblood went on the hunt and collected as many events as he could and put them in one place. Our annual Summer Guide is full of the things that make the Central Coast a fabulous place to spend those warm, lazy days of summer [15].

You can also read about a recently approved project that highlights the conflict between fulfilling housing needs and maintaining the Orcutt’s character [6] ; Wendelin Van Draanen’s new historical fiction about the Central Valley [38] ; and a series of summer dinners designed to highlight the Central Coast’s food and wine [42].
