Brew at the Zoo
On Saturday from 5 pm to 8 pm, the Central Coast Zoo is hosting its 12th annual Brew at the Zoo, where attendees can sample a variety of craft beers, distilled spirits, ciders, seltzers, wine, and more. Plus live Music and contests, including the Hula Hoop Contest, Costume Contest, and Dance Contest. All proceeds benefit the Central Coast Zoo! The event is 21+.

Ruck for Resilience
On Saturday at Camp San Luis Obispo, attendees can raise awareness for mental health, resilience, and suicide prevention by participating in a 1-mile or 3-mile ruck from 9 to 1 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a rucksack or backpack loaded with non-perishable canned goods, which will be donated to the San Luis Obispo Veterans Services Office Food Pantry and Supportive Services for Veterans and Families. During the ruck, you’ll unload these items to represent the release of invisible burdens many veterans face daily.
Pints for the Park Beer Festival
On Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m., the Pints for the Park Beer Festival will take over Elings Park with a wide selection of Central Coast craft beer, cider, wine, kombucha, and offerings from more than 20 local vendors.
You can stroll, sip, snack, shop, and relax while supporting the largest privately funded park in the United States. This event is for ages 21+ and general admission is $65.
Wine Knot Macrame Workshop
Not your average workshop! Four Sisters Ranch Vineyards & Winery will be hosting a day of wine and creativity while you learn the art of macrame. Sip wine as you create your own plant hanger to take home.
