SUMMARY:Nearby: Central Coast Writers' Conference at Cuesta College
DESCRIPTION:The Central Coast Writers’ Conference marks 42 years at Cuesta College\nOn the Cuesta College campus\, on Highway 1 between Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo. The Central Coast Writers’ Conference returns Friday and Saturday\, September 25 and 26 for its 42nd year\, two full days under the theme Say Yes! that bring writers of every background and experience level together with an accomplished faculty of authors\, editors\, and publishing professionals. Named Best Conference in the West by Writers Magazine\, CCWC has grown into one of the region’s genuine literary institutions\, and its lecturers and attendees draw heavily from Morro Bay\, Los Osos\, and the surrounding coast. \nFriday opens with optional morning master classes (separate fee) on craft topics from story structure to poetry to fight scenes\, then rolls into afternoon breakout sessions\, a meet-and-greet social hour with music\, appetizers\, and wine\, and a 6 PM keynote from bestselling author Jonathan Maberry titled The Power of Yes! Saturday runs a full day of breakout sessions and panels\, a continental breakfast with the presenters\, a lunchtime author-signing mingle near the bookstore\, and a 5:30 PM closing keynote with Christine Fairchild. Topics range from audiobooks and author websites to publishing after 50 and the AI questions every working writer is weighing. \nRegistration is $325 through September 24\, rising to $375 for day-of walk-ins\, with sign-up through Cuesta Community Programs. A teen writing program and volunteer opportunities run alongside the main conference. The Highway 1 campus is an easy 15-minute drive from Morro Bay\, and the two-day format rewards committing to both. \nFor more workshops\, talks\, and Nearby Happenings along the corridor\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:Love of Nature Exhibit at Art Center Morro Bay
DESCRIPTION:Love of Nature at Art Center Morro Bay\nArt Center Morro Bay hangs its fall exhibit\, Love of Nature\, from September 17 through November 2 at 835 Main St\, the downtown gallery with the Rock mural on its wall. The subject is the one every local lives inside and every visitor drives Highway 1 to find: the ocean\, the bay\, the marshes\, the mountains\, and the plants and wildlife of the Central Coast\, seen through the individual styles of the region’s artists. \nExpect familiar scenes rendered with personal feeling\, alongside imaginative and abstract takes that treat the coastline as a starting point rather than a postcard. The range is the point. One wall might hold the estuary at low tide in careful detail while the next abstracts the same water into color and motion\, and the show rewards moving slowly enough to notice how differently each artist answers the same landscape. In a fast-moving stretch of the year\, a room full of work about tidelines\, back-bay light\, and coastal wildlife is a standing invitation to slow down. \nAn opening reception runs Sunday\, September 21\, from 2 to 4 PM\, the best chance to meet the artists whose names hang beside the work. The Art Center has anchored this corner of Main Street since the Morro Bay Art Association formed in 1951\, still volunteer-run and still mounting a full slate of exhibits each year\, and a stop here pairs naturally with the galleries and shops within a couple of blocks. \nAutumn fills in fast around town; the rest of the season’s openings\, music\, and outings are gathered on the event calendar. \nImage: Ken Christensen

SUMMARY:🎶 Live Music: Afternoon Sets at Dockside Too
DESCRIPTION:The afternoon set carries Tognazzini’s Dockside Too patio from 3:00 PM to closing time\, daily.\nWhen the lunch player packs up\, the afternoon act takes over\, 3:00 PM to close\, and plays the harbor toward sunset. Closing time is 7:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and 8:00 PM Friday and Saturday through October\, then an hour earlier in winter\, which means the last set of the day ends with the light going gold behind the Rock more often than not. \nMichael Campbell practically owns the Thursday and Friday close\, Donny Rugebregt holds Tuesdays\, and the rest of the week rotates through Out of the Blue\, Jamie Penneley\, Matt Brown\, Roger Perry\, Ben Cooke\, Cristal Ship\, Peter Emerson\, Bill Reiland\, and company. Wednesdays belong to Cigar Box Ray\, who has his own listing worth reading. No cover charge posted\, ever; just order\, sit\, and stay through one more song. \nWhere: Tognazzini’s Dockside Too\, 1235 Embarcadero\, Morro Bay\nWhen: Daily\, 3:00 PM to close\, through December 31 (Wednesdays covered under the Cigar Box Ray listing; music ends 3:00 PM on Nov 25 and Dec 24; closed Thanksgiving and Christmas)\nGood to know: All seating is outdoors and first come; the patio is dog friendly; schedule provided by the venue and subject to change \nMore Information \nSunset with a set list is the Dockside Too specialty; every other way to close a day here is on the full Morro Bay events calendar.

SUMMARY:🍿 Tony at the Bay Theatre (matinee showing)
DESCRIPTION:Tony\, the young Anthony Bourdain story\, runs afternoon showings at the Bay Theatre in downtown Morro Bay.\nMatt Johnson directs Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers) as a 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain thrown into the chaos of a Provincetown restaurant kitchen for the summer that shaped everything after: before the books\, before the television years\, the origin of the cook who taught a generation how to eat and pay attention. The theatre’s own billing says it best: nobody did it like him. Rated R\, 1 hour 41 minutes. A kitchen coming-of-age story lands a little differently in a town where the fish comes off the boats a few blocks from the theater\, and the matinee walks you out into a waterfront full of working kitchens just starting service. \n \nWhere: Bay Theatre\, 464 Morro Bay Blvd\, Morro Bay\nWhen: September 25 through 30; Friday\, Saturday\, Tuesday\, and Wednesday at 4:30 PM; Sunday\, September 27 at 1:30 and 4:00 PM; dark Monday\, September 28\nCost: $10 \nMore Information \nAn afternoon with young Bourdain earns the dinner that follows; the rest of the week’s plans are on the Morro Bay events calendar.

SUMMARY:🎶 Live Music: Diane Petra at Lumin Earth Apothecary
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Diane Petra plays a free Kava Night set at Lumin Earth Apothecary on Main Street.\nLumin Earth’s Kava Night gets its live music back with Diane Petra returning for an evening of original songs\, self-described coastal cowgirl gypsy folk\, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM on Friday\, September 25. It’s the quiet-room end of a loud Friday downtown: kava and herbal elixirs instead of a bar tab\, all ages instead of a door check\, and an apothecary tucked into the back of the building instead of a stage. Grab a shell\, find a spot\, and stay awhile\, as the hosts put it. \nWhere: Lumin Earth Apothecary\, 875 Main St\, Suite C\, Morro Bay\nWhen: Friday\, September 25\, 2026\, 6:30 to 8:00 PM\nCost: Free\nGood to know: All ages welcome; the shop is at the back of the building; follow the signs \nMore Information \nA folk set with a kava shell is one way to open the last September weekend; the rest of the options are on the Morro Bay events calendar.

SUMMARY:🍿 Tony at the Bay Theatre (evening showing)
DESCRIPTION:Tony plays evenings at the Bay Theatre in downtown Morro Bay\, the last feature of September.\nMatt Johnson directs Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers) as a 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain thrown into the chaos of a Provincetown restaurant kitchen for the summer that shaped everything after: before the books\, before the television years\, the origin of the cook who taught a generation how to eat and pay attention. The theatre’s own billing says it best: nobody did it like him. Rated R\, 1 hour 41 minutes. The evening slot is the full ritual: dinner first on the Embarcadero or Main Street\, then the short walk up to the marquee to watch a kid fall in love with restaurant work an hour after you ate in one. \n \nWhere: Bay Theatre\, 464 Morro Bay Blvd\, Morro Bay\nWhen: September 25 through 30; Friday\, Saturday\, Tuesday\, and Wednesday at 7:00 PM; no Sunday evening show; dark Monday\, September 28\nCost: $10 \nMore Information \nThe credits on Tony land right at the start of the fall calendar; keep the streak going with the full Morro Bay events calendar.

SUMMARY:🎶 Live Music: J. Roddy Walston with Strange Vine at The Siren
DESCRIPTION:J. Roddy Walston brings his piano-pounding rock and roll to The Siren\nOn Main Street in Morro Bay. J. Roddy Walston plays The Siren on Friday\, September 25 at 7:30 PM with Strange Vine opening\, tickets $19 to $25 at thesirenmorrobay.com. As the frontman of J. Roddy Walston and the Business\, he spent years filling far larger rooms with piano-hammering\, Southern-fried rock and roll\, which is exactly what makes a Siren date special: the songs that used to need a festival stage\, delivered from a few feet away. \nWalston largely stepped back from touring after the Business wound down\, so any West Coast date is a rarity\, and small-room shows from artists at this level tend to become the nights people brag about later. Strange Vine’s opening set keeps the bill in the same raw\, riff-forward lane. If the room does what small rooms do for rare bookings\, tickets will not last to the door. \nThe Siren is the Main Street room that carries most of Morro Bay’s live music\, small\, dark\, and close to the stage\, with the kitchen and full bar running through the night. Shows are 21 and over per the venue’s evening policy\, and seating is first come\, so arriving early gets a table. \nFor more touring rarities and Friday nights around the bay\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.
