s students celebrate graduations and the end of the school year, families are looking ahead to the summer months for the promise of fun and recreation. After a year of closures due to Covid-19, in-person events and fundraisers are slowly returning. And with the planned June 15 reopening for California, more may be on the horizon. From small fundraisers at local breweries, to outdoor food festivals and live music, local businesses, organizations and municipalities are finding ways to bring back old events in safe ways. “All in all, it is exciting to see many of the annual events and traditions that our community holds so dear make a comeback this summer,” said Nick Calubaquib, Parks and Community Services Director for the City of Watsonville. “Although the events this year may not look exactly like they did pre-pandemic (due to the short planning window and ongoing Covid restrictions), we are excited to bring people back together live and in person to celebrate all of the things that make this community so great.” Listed in this article are just some of the events and fundraisers that are happening in the Pajaro Valley, Santa Cruz County and surrounding areas in the next few months. Have fun out there—just remember to stay safe, wear a mask, and keep your distance.
