We hope you are getting as excited as we are about Goleta’s Dam Dinner which is coming up one month from today on August 19 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. This annual free community event takes place the last Saturday in summer before school starts at the scenic Lake Los Carneros Dam. For those who have been before, you know how simple yet special this event is. For those who have never been, we hope you will join us for this fun and casual community gathering with friends and neighbors. Watch our video invite in English (https://youtu.be/0ERI5zReyLU) or Spanish (https://youtu.be/0q5zcYgOJxU).

Here's what to expect. Everyone sits together at tables and chairs set up by the dam with beautiful views of Lake Los Carneros and the mountains. Listen to live music from local bluegrass group the Salt Martians. Bring your own picnic dinner or purchase food from AR Catering and refreshing popsicles from Dave’s Drip House. Kids will enjoy face-painting and cornhole. Dam Dinner 2023 t-shirts will be available for purchase.

As a reminder, the City has a plastic reduction ordinance in place, and we ask you to please not bring single-use plastics. As a free gift to you, attendees will receive a reusable travel utensil set to use and keep courtesy of the City’s Sustainability Division.
