Morro Bay, once a sleepy
seaside haven for rest and relaxation, continues to maintain its
reputation for R&R vacations. But more and more, the city is
becoming known for its special events that entertain all ages with
music and festivities. The Morro Bay Music Festival is an event that
offers everyone who loves music a chance to get up and dance. Set
along the waterfront on the Embarcadero across from Rose's Landing,
the day of song and music offers those just passing through or
travelers an opportunity to linger, sample the oak wood-flavored
tri-tip BBQ, award-winning internationally-known wines that are
cultivated in the fertile valleys nearby, and microbrews that have
become the rage in this city that's come of age as a fun place to
be.
Californians know about the
best kept secret. They make their annual journeys from San
Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Silicon Valley and Bakersfield to
Morro Bay. And in typical Central Coast style, Morro Bay invites
them all to visit, stay for a while, and partake of the music,
festivities and slower pace that locals enjoy in this stress free
city located in San Luis Obispo County.
From rock to pop, indie to
country, the music varies during the event. The bands are top
quality and always make the event a huge success. And best of all
it's free! If you wonder how they can offer a free event and still
raise money for charities, the proceeds come from food and beverage
purchases, crafts sales and souvenirs.
If you plan to stay overnight
or during the weekend, you may want to book your hotel room early.
When they fill up, you can try looking for rooms in San Luis Obispo,
Cambria, San Simeon and Pismo Beach. As of this posting, at
least half the hotels in Morro Bay still have rooms available.
