Join us for the first-ever Murder Mystery Weekend in the historic Village of Arroyo Grande - where history, community, and a little bit of mystery come together!

Over 15 local businesses will transform into characters and clue stops from The Curious Case of J.J. Branch—a murder mystery set in 1911, the year the village was officially founded. Pick up your "1911 Newspaper" from Monarch Books, starting at 10 am on Saturday, 11/1. The newspaper will provide the background story, character bios, event rules, and space to log your clues. Then visit each shop to interview suspects and hunt for clues to solve the mystery.

Submit your final guess to Monarch Books before 4 pm on Sunday, 11/2. Participants who guess the Suspect and Motive correctly will be able to enter a grand-prize drawing for the Winner's Basket. The grand-prize drawing will be at 5 pm on Sunday 11/2.

Free and family-friendly!
