August has arrived and with it, an abundance of events to enjoy and participate in. Whether it’s a family outing or a chance to experience local gems, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this month. Here are a couple of events to check out toward the end of the month.

Sunday, Aug. 18, 1-4:30 p.m. — Family Weekends at Del Mar Racetrack: For those who have racetrack admission for weekend race days at Del Mar, make sure to take advantage of the infield’s various free attractions. The infield features pony rides, a giant obstacle course, face painters, a game zone, bungee trampolines and much more. The entire family can join in on the fun, but the available activities are sure to give younger guests a more fun-filled outing during the course of race days.

Sunday, Aug. 25, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. — LeucadiART Walk: Visit the largest juried art show in North County for a large blend of distinctive art and music. The 15th Annual LeucadiART Walk will feature a plethora of works from local artists, live music, art demonstrations, and a craft beer garden which will be dishing out brews from the likes of Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey. There will also be a revamped children’s art pavilion that will be equipped with multiple art stations. The event is free and will take place along a one mile stretch of Highway 101 (North Court to Phoebe Street). Information online: www.leucadia101.com/events/15th-annual-leucadiart-walk-2019.
