Last night I spent my first summer night eating, drinking, and laughing with friends while we walked the streets of Solana Beach. And all this was free. Every so often Cedros merchants have an open house evening with most stores open, most serving wonderful drinks from sangria to rum punch to red and white wine. Some serve nice appetizers, but others go all out and have barbequed hot dogs, Brazilian style meats, fresh popped popcorn, and smoothies. This is definitely a free dinner, with lots of art to view, shops to visit, and even nurseries to browse. It was a wonderful way to spend a few hours. The streets were jammed with families, couples, singles and of course dogs. There was music everywhere. What a great way to spend a few hours with friends, get a little exercise, have a grazing meal and see what's new in art, fashion and home design.
Many other communities have similar events. Some have street fairs, some have barbeques, some have car shows. I am in the process of compiling a list of some of the upcoming summer events that you can enjoy for free. Look for it soon.
