Here, find a curated list of the best food and drink events in Santa Cruz County for the coming week. At the top, I share my picks of unmissable local happenings.
Santa Cruz-based Humble Sea Brewing Co. is hosting its first art show to showcase the cartoonish “kooky” creations that decorate its beer and merchandise. At Minnow Arts in downtown Santa Cruz, “Kooks, Inc: the Art of Humble Sea Brewing Co.” showcases an exhibition by artist Juan Llorens throughout January, and a reception will be held during First Friday.
