The fourth annual North PB Sip ‘N Stroll presented by Turquoise Cellars and Discover Pacific Beach will take place Sunday, July 24 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Cass Street between Loring and Opal streets.
This free, family event is aimed at promoting the residents, businesses and community organizations of the beach community’s northern stretches. The Stroll is a Pacific Beach area business marketing street fair. Last year, an estimated 6,000 neighbors turned out to participate.
“We’re getting more and more local businesses involved, rather than outside-type vendors,” said event originator Mike Spangler, of Spangler Event Productions. One goal of the Sip ’N’ Stroll is to distinguish North PB from the rest of the community by establishing its unique identity.
North PB is loosely defined as the section of the beach community north of the Grand and Garnet avenues commercial district, bounded by Felspar Street on the south, Turquoise Street on the north, Mission Boulevard on the west and Ingraham Street on the east.
The street fair will have a nice representation of local restaurants and businesses as well as presenting a fine wine and beer tasting garden. At the Stroll, Spangler said free space is donated to local non-profits such as Beautiful PB, SavePB, PB Planning Group, PB Library, The Gateway Project and a few others so they can interact with the community.
