Mark your calendar for one of Goleta’s favorite traditions – the annual Dam Dinner! Join us Saturday, August 16, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Lake Los Carneros Dam as we celebrate the end of summer.

The Goleta Dam Dinner is a free community event bringing together friends and neighbors. Tables and chairs are set up by the dam with breathtaking views of Lake Los Carneros and the mountains. Bring a picnic dinner or purchase food from an onsite food truck. All this while listening to live music from local bluegrass group the Salt Martians

This is a family-friendly event. Kids will love the face-painters and Kona Ice truck. Commemorative Dam Dinner t-shirts will be for sale.

You can enter the Dam Dinner off N. La Patera Lane or Stow House at 304 N. Los Carneros Road. Wear walking shoes and bring a jacket in case it gets windy.

Please do not bring pets, service animals are allowed.

This event can’t happen without the help of our partners. Thank you to the Goleta Valley Historical Society, MarBorg, and Big Hammer Lures.

We hope to see you on August 16 for another great Dam Dinner! Stay tuned for more details.
