Sea Glass – Festival – Cayucos – Central Coast – Quaint Beach Town – Sea Glass

Find out why people get so excited about sea glass at the annual Cayucos Sea Glass Festival on March 10-11, 2012.  Sea glass enthusiasts, craftspeople and artists will be selling and displaying their creations.  For those who want to learn about the international hobby of sea glass collecting, this is the place.  Who would have thought that treasure seekers would go after shards of glass, made smooth by years of salt water and sand?  Finding sea glass on the beach can be a rewarding hobby, especially when a rare piece is discovered.  Color, shape, markings and evidence of history are all factors that come into play.      

The festival concept was inspired in 2010 by a fellowship of Cayucos sea glass collectors who became friends and decided to put on an event. The first festival (March 2011), sponsored by the Cayucos Chamber of Commerce, was a surprising success story with over 3,000 attendees.  With added sponsorships and a seasoned team, the event has been expanded to 2 days with a larger venue and more vendors.

Cayucos, the quaint beach town on the Central Coast, hosts the Sea Glass Festival along with "A Taste of Cayucos," which offers live entertainment and food from local eateries, wineries and a brewery.   

When:  March 10-11, 2012
Where: Cayucos, at the foot of the pier
Time:  Saturday, 10-5; Sunday, 10-4
Cost:  Entrance fee to festival $3.00
Food and drink prices vary at the Taste
Proceeds go to the Cayucos 4th of July firework display.
Information:  Cayucos Chamber, 805/995-3681.
