Cannery Row Cultural Festival

Cannery Row is an engaging visitor destination with a rich cultural, culinary and natural history. Individuals from around the world have lived and prospered along this scenic stretch of California coast. The new fall festival will celebrate and mark the history and contributions of these diverse cultures, and people who created the past, present and future of Monterey and Cannery Row. The event will include performances by the Shinsho-Mugen Daiko Drum Troupe, the Monterey Bay Lion Dance Team, Azahar Flamenco de Monterey, the Italian song stylings of the Monterey International Trio and the Mexican melodies of the Javier Sanchez Duo. The family-friendly festival will feature engaging activities for children, as well, including a creation station where little ones can color their own sardine can labels, balloon art and a special Squid 4 Kids science presentation with a real Humboldt squid. For additional information, please call 831-649-6690 or visit www.canneryrow.com.
