The Stone Soup Music Festival & Street Fair is a community tradition that has thrived for over 30 years in the city of Grover Beach. Each August, the Clark Center gathers staff, volunteers, sponsors, and donors to cook up a stew of great music, food, crafts and wares to share with the community. It's a showcase of amazing talent. From local crafts to world treasures and a wide variety of food, beer, wine, and beverage options, the Street Fair brings vendors from across the Central Coast and beyond to the streets surrounding the Festival.
A large art show and sale will feature the finest artists of the Central Coast to raise funds for the Save Cuesta Inlet non-profit. Cuesta Inlet is a Los Osos gem, where kayaks and canoes dot the shores with fabulous views of the Bay. The goal is to keep this wonderful asset open to the public of boaters, artists, dog walkers, and all nature lovers.
