Avocado & Margarita Festival Celebrates Morro Bay’s Hidden Treasures
Best known as a super seaside getaway, Morro Bay has something else to shout about: It’s home to some of the greatest avocados on Earth.
The same mild climate that attracts birds, sea life and fun-loving tourists to the Central Coast creates perfect growing conditions for creamy, rich avocados. To celebrate the harvest season in style, Morro Bay presents its seventh annual Avocado & Margarita Festival.
On Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 14 and 15, Morro Bay’s waterfront Embarcadero will be filled with live music, refreshing margaritas, ice-cold beer and tasty avocado dishes that begin with guacamole and just keep going.
Saturday’s entertainment will include music by Joey V and Bringing It Back, Lenny Blue Band, Bobby Santa Cruz, Al "Shival" Redwine and Jill Knight. Scheduled for Sunday are Shameless and The Dave Miller Band. Read More
Morro Bay Friends of the Library are kicking off a campaign to raise funds for the upgrading and remodeling of the city's library building.

Those plans are now on display in the lobby of the Morro Bay Library, at the corner of Harbor Street and Shasta Avenue.

The plan will unify the interior space within the footprint of the existing building to create a welcoming, open, flexible and technologically current library that reflects our community.
