If you're by the coast this weekend...

This upcoming Saturday and Sunday, Pacifica is holding the 23rd Annual Pacific Coast Fog Fest. Pacifica is a small coastal town between San Francisco and Half Moon Bay, and it is actually my hometown. 

For most of the year, Pacifica is foggy. And when I say most, I pretty much mean everyday unless you are in the BOV (Back of the Valley). That's Pacifica slang. However, if something good should come from all this fog, coast residents for 22 years have been putting on the this festival with the profit going back to the groups in the community that contributed. 

I encourage people to go if they want to enjoy a fun festival with lots of food and drinks (try the Fog Cutter, made especially for the festival), arts and crafts, live music, and many local vendors selling their merchandise. There are lots to do for everyone in the family. September in Pacifica is actually on of the warmer months of the year and the chance of sun is very likely.

The activities for the weekend are taken from the Fog Fest website:
  • Sand Castle Contest
  • Rock Climber
  • Parade Saturday (at 10am)
  • Marching Band Competition
  • Petting Zoo
  • Kids' Rides
  • Sea Creature Booth
  • Music on three different stages
This festival is free and open to everyone. 
Hours are 10am-6pm, Saturday and Sunday 27th & 28th.
Located on Palmetto Avenue in Pacifica, California.
