Good Neighbor Week and Community Day
Join us for Community Day. Sat., Sept. 30, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Devendorf Park. Meet your community groups to learn about ways to connect with others and about volunteer opportunities.
Here are some fun ideas for you and your neighbors to celebrate:
Meet the Makers
Meet 17 Carmel-by-the-Sea artists and enjoy tasting local wines, craft beers, and food creations while you stroll your way around the 4th annual “Meet the Makers” tour.
“Meet the Makers” starts in Devendorf Park and you’ll stroll through charming downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and meet the artists who carry on the artist colony legacy, tour their galleries, and sip Monterey County wines. Look for the blue lanterns to find participating art galleries.
Get your ticket now!
Spooky Season is almost here!
Get ready for the Pumpkin Roll, Howloween for our doggie friends, and the City Halloween parade.
Darkness falls across the land. The midnight hour is close at hand. Do you have the soul for getting down (and having fun)?
Sign-up to participate in the Halloween Parade that will be held Tuesday, October 31 at 4:30 p.m. Open to all groups whether in a car or on a float, or just walking with your fellow ghoulies.
