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.
Roaring Camp in Felton is hosting a special Father’s Day BBQ to celebrate dads on Father’s Day this Sunday. Hop on the steam train at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and ride up to the redwoods while listening to live music and tasting Humble Sea Brewing craft beer. At Roaring Camp, enjoy a barbecue lunch, gold panning, a bounce house and model train displays. My family did this a couple years ago and it was really fun. Tickets are $44.95 for an adult and $29.95 for children.
Food Trucks A Go Go is also hosting a special evening for dads this Sunday at Skypark in Scotts Valley. Local food trucks S&B, the Pesce Veggie and Rollin Snack Shack will be on site for Father’s Night Food Trucks with live music by The Dadbeats. This event goes from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
