SUMMARY:In The Shadow Exhibit at Art Center Morro Bay
DESCRIPTION:In The Shadow opens the late-summer wall at Art Center Morro Bay\nIn downtown Morro Bay. Art Center Morro Bay opens In The Shadow on August 6\, a themed group exhibit running through September 14 at 835 Main Street\, the downtown gallery with the Rock mural on its wall. Admission is free\, with gallery hours from noon to 4 PM\, and the shadow theme gives the member artists a prompt with real range: literal shadow play\, mood and mystery\, the underside of bright coastal light. \nThe Art Center has anchored Morro Bay’s volunteer-run art scene since 1951\, and its themed group shows are where the member roster stretches: painters\, photographers\, ceramicists\, and mixed-media artists all answering the same prompt differently\, which makes even a short visit rewarding. Work in the shows is generally for sale\, supporting both the artists and the center’s programming. \nA reception date had not been posted at press time; the center typically holds one early in each run\, so watch their calendar. The gallery sits an easy walk from the Embarcadero\, making it a natural add to any downtown afternoon\, and the free admission means there is no reason to save it for a special trip. \nFor receptions\, new exhibits\, and more art around the bay\, see what is coming up on the event calendar. \nImage: Emily Smith-Lundy

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:🍿 The Rivals of Amziah King at the Bay Theatre (matinee showing)
DESCRIPTION:The Rivals of Amziah King takes over the Bay Theatre screen\nIn downtown Morro Bay. The Rivals of Amziah King plays the Bay Theatre from Friday\, August 21 through Wednesday\, September 2\, bringing the acclaimed Matthew McConaughey crime drama to the hometown single screen. Check the show page for this run’s confirmed showtimes; the theatre’s standard schedule runs afternoon and evening showings with Sunday matinees\, dark Mondays and Thursdays. \nThe late-August slot is a good one for a grown-up drama\, the summer crowds thinning\, the evenings cooling\, and a downtown movie night pairing naturally with dinner on Main Street or the Embarcadero before the show. McConaughey’s return to a leading dramatic role has carried the film’s buzz since the festival circuit\, and the hometown screen beats waiting for streaming. \nThe Bay Theatre is Morro Bay’s single-screen downtown movie house at 464 Morro Bay Blvd\, a block off the Embarcadero\, where a night at the movies still comes with a real marquee and walkable dinner options on either side of the show. The theatre is closed Thursdays. Note that Coyote vs. Acme opens August 28 while this run finishes\, so the two films will split the screen’s showtimes in the overlap week; the show pages carry the day-by-day schedule. \nFor the full marquee and the Monday Specials\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:🍿 Coyote vs. Acme at the Bay Theatre (evening showing)
DESCRIPTION:Coyote vs. Acme takes over the Bay Theatre screen\nIn downtown Morro Bay. Coyote vs. Acme runs at the Bay Theatre from Friday\, August 28 through Wednesday\, September 9\, the long-awaited live-action and animation hybrid that puts Wile E. Coyote in court against the Acme Corporation over every defective product that ever blew up in his face. Check the show page for confirmed showtimes; the theatre’s standard schedule runs afternoon and evening showings with Sunday matinees\, dark Mondays and Thursdays. \nThe premise is a family comedy with a cult following before it even opened\, and a single-screen hometown run is the right way to see a movie whose whole heart is old-fashioned moviegoing. The Labor Day weekend falls inside the run\, making a matinee an easy holiday-weekend add. \nThe Bay Theatre is Morro Bay’s single-screen downtown movie house at 464 Morro Bay Blvd\, a block off the Embarcadero\, where a night at the movies still comes with a real marquee and walkable dinner options on either side of the show. The theatre is closed Thursdays. The run opens while The Rivals of Amziah King finishes its final week\, so the two films split the screen’s showtimes through September 2; the show pages carry the day-by-day schedule. \nFor the Monday Specials and the rest of the marquee\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:🍿 The Rivals of Amziah King at the Bay Theatre (matinee showing)
DESCRIPTION:The Rivals of Amziah King takes over the Bay Theatre screen\nIn downtown Morro Bay. The Rivals of Amziah King plays the Bay Theatre from Friday\, August 21 through Wednesday\, September 2\, bringing the acclaimed Matthew McConaughey crime drama to the hometown single screen. Check the show page for this run’s confirmed showtimes; the theatre’s standard schedule runs afternoon and evening showings with Sunday matinees\, dark Mondays and Thursdays. \nThe late-August slot is a good one for a grown-up drama\, the summer crowds thinning\, the evenings cooling\, and a downtown movie night pairing naturally with dinner on Main Street or the Embarcadero before the show. McConaughey’s return to a leading dramatic role has carried the film’s buzz since the festival circuit\, and the hometown screen beats waiting for streaming. \nThe Bay Theatre is Morro Bay’s single-screen downtown movie house at 464 Morro Bay Blvd\, a block off the Embarcadero\, where a night at the movies still comes with a real marquee and walkable dinner options on either side of the show. The theatre is closed Thursdays. Note that Coyote vs. Acme opens August 28 while this run finishes\, so the two films will split the screen’s showtimes in the overlap week; the show pages carry the day-by-day schedule. \nFor the full marquee and the Monday Specials\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:Trivia Night at The Nauti Anchor
DESCRIPTION:Trivia Night runs every Wednesday at The Nauti Anchor in North Morro Bay.\nA free weekly showdown at the Main Street bar and grill\, 6:30 to 7:30 PM: bring a team name or just join in when you get there\, since the format welcomes solo players and drop-ins as readily as the crews who show up with a strategy. The hour-long format keeps it tight\, a quick and competitive weeknight outing rather than a whole evening’s commitment\, and the kitchen and taps run through the game so the table stays fed. It is a restaurant and coffee bar rather than a bar\, so all ages can play. The venue’s own advice is worth taking: come early to get a seat\, and bring your brain. \nWhere: The Nauti Anchor\, 2940 Main St\, Morro Bay\nWhen: Every Wednesday\, 6:30 to 7:30 PM\nCost: Free\nGood to know: All ages; Karaoke takes the Tuesday slot\, 5:00 to 7:00 PM \nMore Information \nA Wednesday trivia habit is a fine spine for the week; the rest of it hangs on the Morro Bay events calendar.

SUMMARY:🍿 Coyote vs. Acme at the Bay Theatre (evening showing)
DESCRIPTION:Coyote vs. Acme takes over the Bay Theatre screen\nIn downtown Morro Bay. Coyote vs. Acme runs at the Bay Theatre from Friday\, August 28 through Wednesday\, September 9\, the long-awaited live-action and animation hybrid that puts Wile E. Coyote in court against the Acme Corporation over every defective product that ever blew up in his face. Check the show page for confirmed showtimes; the theatre’s standard schedule runs afternoon and evening showings with Sunday matinees\, dark Mondays and Thursdays. \nThe premise is a family comedy with a cult following before it even opened\, and a single-screen hometown run is the right way to see a movie whose whole heart is old-fashioned moviegoing. The Labor Day weekend falls inside the run\, making a matinee an easy holiday-weekend add. \nThe Bay Theatre is Morro Bay’s single-screen downtown movie house at 464 Morro Bay Blvd\, a block off the Embarcadero\, where a night at the movies still comes with a real marquee and walkable dinner options on either side of the show. The theatre is closed Thursdays. The run opens while The Rivals of Amziah King finishes its final week\, so the two films split the screen’s showtimes through September 2; the show pages carry the day-by-day schedule. \nFor the Monday Specials and the rest of the marquee\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:Nearby: 🎶 Open Mic Night at Schooners
DESCRIPTION:Schooners opens the Music Room mic every Wednesday night\nIn Cayucos\, up the coast. Schooners runs Open Mic Night every Wednesday at 7 PM in its Music Room\, with signups starting at 6\, hosted by local favorite Sam Fischer\, and the first Wednesday of each month handed to Kam Alton as guest host. Music and poetry both take the stage\, from Cayucos regulars to whoever happens to be passing through on Highway 1\, and the jams have a reputation for running late when the room is right. \nA standing open mic at a beachfront venue draws a different crowd than a bar-back-room version: the Music Room gives performers a real stage\, the restaurant keeps the audience fed\, and the mix of locals and travelers means no two Wednesdays sound alike. Performers and listeners are equally welcome\, and the signup sheet is democratic\, get there at 6 if you want a good slot. The room has launched more than a few local collaborations\, since half the players in the county pass through it eventually. \nSchooners sits a few steps from the Cayucos Pier with a full bar and menu running through the night\, about ten minutes up Highway 1 from Morro Bay. Free\, no cover\, every Wednesday. \nFor more open mics and live music up and down the coast\, see what is happening on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:🎶 Live Music: Garden Groove\, A Tribute to Sublime at The Siren
DESCRIPTION:Garden Groove brings the Sublime songbook to a Siren Wednesday\nOn Main Street in Morro Bay. Garden Groove plays a Sublime tribute at The Siren on Wednesday\, September 2 at 7 PM\, tickets $15 to $18 at thesirenmorrobay.com. The Long Beach trio’s reggae-rock canon remains the unofficial soundtrack of California beach towns three decades on\, and a tribute set a few blocks up Main from an actual working harbor is about as on-context as the material gets. \nThe Sublime songbook is compact and beloved\, What I Got\, Santeria\, Badfish\, Doin’ Time\, and a good tribute act treats it as singalong scripture\, which is exactly what a midweek Siren crowd wants. The fog usually rolls up Main about the time doors open\, which somehow suits the songs too. A midweek tribute keeps the weekend free and the ticket cheap\, the right formula for a school-night singalong. Bring the whole crew of Sublime loyalists; the choruses need them. \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 tribute nights and reggae-rock around the bay\, see what is on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:Jukebox Bingo at Sammy J's
DESCRIPTION:Jukebox Bingo turns Wednesday nights into a singalong at Sammy J’s\nIn downtown Morro Bay. Sammy J’s runs Jukebox Bingo every Wednesday at 7:30 PM\, the Irish American pub’s signature midweek mashup where the bingo card is filled with songs instead of numbers. Hosted by Leslie\, the game plays exactly how it sounds: the music plays\, you mark the song on your card when you recognize it\, and the singing along takes care of itself\, “sing\, mark\, win\,” as the house puts it. The pub calls the game Biongó\, and the shamrock-green branding tells you how seriously they take the fun. \nThe formula has made Wednesday one of the pub’s best nights: great food and cold drinks from the full menu\, a room that gets louder and happier as the rounds roll\, and awesome prizes for the winners. Because the game runs on recognizing songs rather than trivia knowledge\, every table competes on even footing\, from the regulars to whoever wandered in off Morro Bay Boulevard\, and the singalong factor means even a losing card is a good time. \nSammy J’s at 400 Morro Bay Blvd has quickly stacked its weekly calendar into downtown’s most reliable run of free weeknight entertainment\, with bingo on Wednesdays alongside its trivia\, karaoke\, and open mic nights. Free to play\, no reservations needed\, and arriving for dinner ahead of the 7:30 start claims the good tables before the cards go out. \nFor karaoke\, trivia\, and the rest of the week’s lineup around the bay\, see what is happening on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:In The Shadow Exhibit at Art Center Morro Bay
DESCRIPTION:In The Shadow opens the late-summer wall at Art Center Morro Bay\nIn downtown Morro Bay. Art Center Morro Bay opens In The Shadow on August 6\, a themed group exhibit running through September 14 at 835 Main Street\, the downtown gallery with the Rock mural on its wall. Admission is free\, with gallery hours from noon to 4 PM\, and the shadow theme gives the member artists a prompt with real range: literal shadow play\, mood and mystery\, the underside of bright coastal light. \nThe Art Center has anchored Morro Bay’s volunteer-run art scene since 1951\, and its themed group shows are where the member roster stretches: painters\, photographers\, ceramicists\, and mixed-media artists all answering the same prompt differently\, which makes even a short visit rewarding. Work in the shows is generally for sale\, supporting both the artists and the center’s programming. \nA reception date had not been posted at press time; the center typically holds one early in each run\, so watch their calendar. The gallery sits an easy walk from the Embarcadero\, making it a natural add to any downtown afternoon\, and the free admission means there is no reason to save it for a special trip. \nFor receptions\, new exhibits\, and more art around the bay\, see what is coming up on the event calendar. \nImage: Emily Smith-Lundy

SUMMARY:Morro Bay Thursday Farmers' Market
DESCRIPTION:Every Thursday afternoon\, the parking lot at Spencer’s Fresh Markets fills with the SLO County Farmers Market Association’s midweek market.\nFarmers come from as far south as Goleta\, as far east as Delano\, and up from Salinas\, so the produce table runs deep: stone fruit and berries in summer\, citrus and greens in the cooler months\, plus flowers\, eggs\, and prepared food. It smells like the ocean and stocks like the valley. \nIt’s an easy stop\, right off Highway 1 at 2650 Main Street\, and it runs year-round. Bring a bag and cash for the vendors who prefer it. \nFor more markets\, tastings\, and good food around town\, see what’s coming up on the event calendar.

The gallery sits an easy walk from the Embarcadero\, making it a natural add to any downtown afternoon\, and the free admission means there is no reason to save it for a special trip. \nFor receptions\, new exhibits\, and more art around the bay\, see what is coming up on the event calendar. \nImage: Emily Smith-Lundy

SUMMARY:Nearby: 🎶 Live Music: Rachel Santa Cruz & Hunter Takao at Schooners
DESCRIPTION:A Friday bonus set with Rachel Santa Cruz and Hunter Takao at Schooners\nIn Cayucos\, up the coast. Rachel Santa Cruz and Hunter Takao play a special Friday bonus set at Schooners on September 4\, from 1 to 4 PM on the oceanfront patio above Cayucos Beach. Beachside Live is usually a weekend affair\, so a Friday show is off the normal pattern\, kicking off the Labor Day weekend early with an afternoon set by the water. The holiday-weekend timing lands right in the warmest\, clearest stretch of the Central Coast year. \nSchooners runs its live music on the beachfront patio a few steps from the Cayucos Pier\, sand right there\, full bar and menu on hand\, all ages welcome. An afternoon set means catching the music with the sun high and the beach in full swing\, a mellow\, sunlit way to start a long weekend rather than close out a day. \nCayucos is about ten minutes up Highway 1 from Morro Bay\, an easy drive for a Friday afternoon by the water. Patio seating goes to whoever gets there first\, so arriving before the 1 PM start is the move on a holiday-weekend Friday. \nFor more Beachside Live shows and Nearby Happenings up and down the coast\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.
