As we head into the holiday season, some of local Encinitas businesses are starting to celebrate in style! The San Diego Botanic Gardens will decorate their beautiful 30 acres into a dazzling winter wonderland. They will use over 100,000 sparkling lights to illuminate their trees, palms, flowering plants, and bamboo forest.

They will have activities for the entire family – from horse drawn wagon rides, marshmallow roasting over a fire, holiday crafts, live music, and refreshments. They will even be offering photos with Santa.

The event runs from 5-9 pm on December 10-23 or December 26-30. Admission prices are $8 for members, military, seniors, and students. $12 for non-members. $4 for children 3-12. The event will be at the San Diego Botanic Gardens at 230 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas.

NEW Encinitas Farmer’s Market

amewborn — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:35:18 +0000

One of the best things about living in Encinitas, La Costa, and Carlsbad is the fresh produce! I’m originally from Indiana. My idea of vegetables included corn, potatoes, and tomatoes. I had never had an artichoke or an avocado or asparagus until I moved to California!
Then I found out about farmer’s markets. No matter how great the produce may be at the Carlsbad Costco, or the La Costa Henry’s, or the Carlsbad Jimbo’s – nothing beats the freshness (and often the price) of the local farmer’s market.

The New Encinitas Farmer’s Market is open on Sundays from 2 pm – 5 pm at Flora Vista Elementary School at 1690 Wandering Road, Encinitas – 92024. The farmer’s market is designed to serve inland Encinitas, Olivenhain, Rancho Santa Fe, La Costa, and San Elijo, where there are no community farmer’s markets.

Encinitas – Sunday Summer Concerts

amewborn — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:18:11 +0000

The summer is always my FAVORITE time of year. Despite the fact that even though Carlsbad, Encinitas, and San Diego have what the rest of the country would consider year round summer – there are so many great Carlsbad activities that ONLY happen in the summer.

In Encinitas, there is the Sunday Summer Concert Series. The concerts are at Encinitas’ Moonlight Beach on Sundays from 3:00 – 5:00 pm. The upcoming events are:

July 5 – The Credentialed – Cover Rock
July 19th – Stripes and Lines – Alternative
August 2 – The Surf Kings – Surf Guitar
August 16 – The Devastators – Reggae
