One of the nicest things about the holidays is that everyone is welcome. The time brings out the best in us, when giving truly is more important than receiving.
There’s also a lot of community activities that we share to celebrate the season. Here in South County, we have a wide variety of fun festivities, most of which are open to everyone. If you are lucky enough to get to spend part of your holidays in or near Pismo, here’s some events to think about adding to your schedule.
