The Central Coast California spans roughly Ventura / Santa Barbara Counties to the Monterey Bay Area. For this Fall Festival List we're stopping at Big Sur as there are too many festivals and events in Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove and into Santa Cruz. So here are a few of our favorites on the Central Coast we hope you enjoy. Fall is a special time to visit.
