Last chance to dance: The Village of Arroyo Grande is a primo spot to grab a bite to eat (Mason Bar for cocktails and dinner, Comfort Market for a quick picnic lunch, Planted Eatery for amazing healthy snacks and juices), but did you know this quaint hamlet is also ground zero for laid-back community hangouts every year? Don’t miss the end of Arroyo Grande’s epic summer concert series, featuring live swing sounds by The Starlight Dreamband Aug. 27) … Hot soup! Grover Beach’s annual Stone Soup Music Festival and Street Faire will kick off this Aug. 28 at Ramona Garden Park, and this year promises to be a doozie. Gear up for a Mardi Paws Dog Parade (yes, that’s dogs in cute costumes), musical performers (including ’80s giants Great White), and lots of delicious food vendors patronize (go to aggbchamber.com for more info).
