Spring enters full bloom with two of coastal North San Diego County’s biggest events of the season, the Encinitas Spring Street Fair and Carlsbad Village Street Faire. In keeping with the street fairs’ opportunities for community connections, local business support, live entertainment and food, the region’s local farmers markets look to sunnier days with their offerings this spring as well.
With a month as damp as February, it might be easy to forget that our region’s farmers markets are active at this time of year. This month’s Spotlight includes a rundown of our community farmers markets, which are open with winter hours. February marks Black History Month as well, and institutions offer a variety of programs highlighting the contributions of local and national figures to our communities, nation, and world.
The flowers are starting to bloom in San Diego as the region approaches spring, making it the perfect time to see what coastal North County has to offer, from Oceanside’s annual International Film Festival to seaweed pressing in Encinitas.
2023 has begun and we are welcoming in the new year with fun attractions to attend with family and friends. North County is hosting many local events from classic farmers markets to NOLA’s Mardi Gras.
