On the Central Coast, events are planned in Monterey, San Luis Obispo,Santa Barbara—and for the first time, in Santa Maria. That event starts at 10 a.m. in Santa Maria's Buena Vista Park.
In San Luis Obispo, downtown streets will be closed on Saturday morning. The San Luis Obispo Women's March starts in Mitchell Park at 9 a.m.
The theme of this year's marches is "Truth to Power."
