2006 Pismo Beach Festa

Posted by Stephen Lawrence Jr. on August 25th, 2006 — Posted in Announcement

The 2006 Pismo Beach Festa was held on August 19-20, 2006. The weather was beautiful and so was the parade. Now I know why there are so many people that make the trip to Pismo for this festa!

The parade was highlighted by a large variety of gown colors including pink, blue, red, cocoa, and yellow.2006_Pismo_Festa_008.jpg

This was the first time I had been to the Pismo hall and I was impressed by the large number of people and the large capacity of the outdoor hall area. This new building must hold 1000 people.

The sopas was great, although I am not presonally a big fan of serving the bread and meat together in the same pan, as it tends to get a little messy trying to fish out the bread.

If you have not attended this festa I would highly recommend it, and make it a nice weekend vacation.
