Santa Cruz Events

Looking for local Santa Cruz events? Every Friday-Sunday year-round, mosey over to the Santa Cruz Flea Market located on Soquel Drive off of Highway 1 to find unique finds and great deals from vendors from all over the county. Make sure you don’t miss Wednesday Night Sailboat Races at the Yacht Harbor, where you can enjoy the thrills against the backdrop of the setting sun while dining or just grabbing a cocktail at harbor restaurants. Each August, the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music premieres new work by some of the world’s most celebrated modern composers. Also in the summer, the Scotts Valley Art & Wine Festival displays the work of local artists accompanied by wine, music, and children’s activities. Locals anxiously anticipate the end of July for the annual Wharf to Wharf Race from the Santa Cruz Wharf to the Capitola Wharf. Fun and entertainment awaits both participants and supporters alike with bands and other vendors lining the entire length of the race. Enjoy these exciting events during your stay at our Santa Cruz inn.
