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:Habitat Walk: Marina Boardwalk Salt Marsh
DESCRIPTION:Biologist Faylla Chapman leads a free salt marsh habitat walk from the Marina Boardwalk in Morro Bay State Park.\nA slow mile through the salt marsh and mudflats off the Marina Boardwalk\, focused on the estuary itself: how it formed\, how it keeps changing\, and how the marsh plants feed the migratory birds\, marine mammals\, and everything else that depends on this water. Flat\, boardwalk-friendly\, and open to all experience levels; it’s the back bay explained by someone who reads it fluently. \nWhere: Morro Bay State Park Marina\, State Park Road\, Morro Bay\nWhen: Thursday\, September 24\, 2026\, 1:00 to 3:00 PM\nWho: Morro Coast Audubon Society\nCost: Free; registration required\nGood to know: Small group; request registration through the MCAS site and wait for email confirmation \nMore Information \nUnderstanding the marsh changes every walk after it; where the next one leads is on the full Morro Bay events calendar. \nPhoto Credit: MCAS website | “Morro Bay Marina [photo by Robbie Revel]”

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.

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.

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:Nearby: 🎶 Song-A-Thon Playoffs at Schooners
DESCRIPTION:Songwriters battle for cash at the Schooners Song-A-Thon Playoffs\nIn Cayucos\, up the coast. The Song-A-Thon Playoffs take over Schooners on Thursday\, July 30\, a bracket-style original-song contest where eight to ten solo songwriters play their own material\, the audience ranks each round\, and judges crown a champion. Doors open at 6 PM\, the first round starts at 7\, and awards land at 9\, with a $250 cash top prize and gift cards down the board. Free to attend\, upstairs from the beach at 171 North Ocean Avenue. \nThe format is what makes it: original songs only\, head-to-head rounds\, and an audience with real power over who advances\, which turns a listening night into a participation sport. The county keeps a deep bench of working songwriters\, and a cash prize on a competition bracket brings out both the polished regulars and the wildcard entries that make these nights unpredictable in the best way. \nSong-A-Thon runs the last Thursday of every month at Schooners\, so a good night here can become a habit. The full bar and menu run through the rounds\, and Cayucos sits about ten minutes up Highway 1 from Morro Bay\, an easy Thursday drive for a night of brand-new songs. \nFor more songwriter nights and Nearby Happenings up the coast\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:Karaoke Night at Sammy J's
DESCRIPTION:Grab the mic every Thursday for karaoke night at Sammy J’s\nIn downtown Morro Bay.

SUMMARY:Nearby: Central Coast Writers' Conference at Cuesta College

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:🍿 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:🍿 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Lighthouse Century Bike Ride
DESCRIPTION:The Lighthouse Century rolls out of Morro Bay High School\nIn Morro Bay. The Lighthouse Century\, the San Luis Obispo Bicycle Club’s long-running fall ride\, starts and finishes at Morro Bay High School on Saturday\, September 26\, with riders rolling out from 7 AM. The event offers a full century of 100 miles\, a metric century of 62\, and shorter route options\, tracing the back roads and the coast on some of the best cycling terrain in the state. \nThe ride’s name is honest: the routes work the coastline toward the lighthouses north of town\, with the long course giving riders a full day of Highway 1 views\, ranch-road climbs\, and the kind of late-September weather that makes this the sweet spot of the coastal cycling year. Rest stops\, sag support\, and finish-line food are all part of the package\, a genuinely well-supported club ride rather than a bare-bones one. \nRegistration is required in advance through the SLO Bicycle Club at slobc.org\, with entry fees varying by route. For spectators\, the start and finish at the high school make for easy cheering\, and the coffee-fueled 7 AM rollout is its own spectacle. Riders should bring layers for the marine-layer morning that burns into a warm afternoon. \nFor more rides\, races\, and outdoor events around the bay\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:🎶 Live Music Saturdays at High Tide Deli
DESCRIPTION:Free Saturday afternoons on the High Tide Deli patio\nHigh Tide Deli runs free live music on the patio every Saturday from noon to 2 PM\, the kind of low-key weekly slot that turns a sandwich-shop lunch into something you actually plan around. The lineup rotates\, the show is short and casual\, and the menu does the rest. No cover\, no reservations needed\, no big production. Just music and lunch on the patio at 500 Morro Bay Boulevard. \nHigh Tide is a Morro Bay favorite that sits at the downtown end of the Boulevard\, an indoor/outdoor cafe known for build-your-own sandwiches\, acai bowls\, smoothies\, and a serious coffee menu. The Turkey Bliss is a regular contender\, the avocado toast has a following\, and the build-your-own runs deep with options like Dutch Crunch rolls\, pesto mayo\, and the standard Morro Bay add-ons (bacon\, avocado\, jalapeno cheddar bread). The retail section of the cafe stocks local goods\, which makes the post-lunch browse part of the experience. \nThe patio is dog-friendly and family-friendly\, with shade across the seating area on most afternoons and the kind of casual stretch that lets the music play without becoming the whole event. The Saturday slot draws regulars and walk-ins in roughly equal measure. High Tide is open daily from 8 AM to 5 PM\, and the music slot lines up neatly with the lunch rush. \nSpecific artists are not always announced in advance. High Tide drops weekend lineup updates on their Instagram (@hightidemorrobay) ahead of the show\, so check there for who’s playing this Saturday. \nFor more free shows\, weekend lunch plans\, and live music around the bay\, see 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:Nearby: 🎶 Beachside Live at Schooners
DESCRIPTION:Free live music every weekend on the oceanfront patio at Schooners\nIn Cayucos\, up the coast. Schooners runs its Beachside Live concert series on the oceanfront patio above Cayucos Beach every Saturday and Sunday through the summer and into fall\, a few steps from the pier with the sand and the water right there. Most weekend days bring two different acts\, an afternoon set from 1 to 4 PM and an evening set from 5 to 8\, so the music runs straight through the best hours of the day. It is free\, all ages are welcome on the patio\, and the full bar and menu run throughout. \nThe 2026 season rotates a deep roster of Central Coast bands with touring guests dropping in\, so the lineup changes every weekend across genres from roots and Americana to funk\, reggae\, and beach rock. Because the acts change constantly\, the best way to see who is playing on a given day is to check Schooners directly\, but the through-line is dependable: show up on a weekend afternoon or evening and there will be a band on the patio and the ocean behind them. \nCayucos sits about ten minutes up Highway 1 from Morro Bay\, an easy drive for a weekend afternoon or a sunset set by the water. Front-row patio seating goes to whoever claims it\, so arriving a little early is the move when the weather is good and the beach crowd is out. \nFor the full weekend lineup and more Nearby Happenings up and down the coast\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

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:🍿 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: The Staples\, A Chris Stapleton Tribute at The Siren
DESCRIPTION:The Staples bring a Chris Stapleton tribute to a Siren Saturday night\nOn Main Street in Morro Bay. The Staples play a Chris Stapleton tribute at The Siren on Saturday\, September 26 at 8 PM\, working the outlaw-country and soul-inflected rock catalog that has made Stapleton one of the biggest voices in modern country. Tickets run $17 to $21 at thesirenmorrobay.com. \nStapleton’s material is a natural fit for a tribute treatment because it lives or dies on the voice and the band’s restraint\, whiskey-and-heartache ballads next to full-throated southern rock\, and a room the Siren’s size puts that dynamic right in front of you. The venue runs country a handful of times a year\, and tribute Saturdays reliably draw the sing-along crowd that makes those nights feel bigger than the room. Expect the big ones\, the whiskey ballads and the barn-burners alike\, delivered by a band that knows the assignment is the voice. \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. The show is 21 and over per the venue’s evening policy. Tables go early on tribute Saturdays\, so arriving ahead of the 8 PM start is the smart play. \nFor more country nights and tribute shows around the bay this fall\, see what is on the event calendar.
