Any day of the week, Cannery Row feels like a party – but on June 3rd we make it official.
That’s when we’ll be celebrating the ninth annual Cannery Row Block party – and if you’re vacationing in the Monterey area, we sure hope you can stop on by the “Row” between 11am and 5pm.
Just look for the balloons and listen for the music: Michael Annotti & the Kings, the Chicano All-Stars Band, and Matt Masih & the Messengers.
There will be all kinds of food and family fun: live animal shows, balloon artists, games, crafts, contests and prizes. See you there!
I mean, do squid around… cause there’s gonna be oceans of family fun at Monterey’s first annual Clam Chowder and Calamari Festival, May 26-28.
Clam Chowder and Calamari?
Yep. Let it never be said that the city of Monterey has trouble finding excuses to celebrate. This free festival at the Custom House Plaza at Fisherman’s Wharf will feature music and entertainment, arts and crafts, marine exhibits, cooking demos, and plenty of food and drink. (Besides soup and squid, there will be fish and chips, pasta, sandwiches, strawberry shortcake, caramel apples, cookies, ice cream and more.)
Beer, wine and margaritas will be available, and three live bands will play each day, including John “Broadway” Tucker, the Cachugua Playboys and Red Beans and Rice.
Hours are 11am – 7pm Saturday and Sunday and 11am – 6pm Monday.
