Join Us 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. at the Lake Los Carneros Dam
Goleta’s Best Dam Dinner will be here before we know it on Saturday, August 16. You are invited to join us for this low-key event in a beautiful setting. Come on down to Lake Los Carneros from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. where tables and chairs are set up communal style along the dam. It’s a great way to connect with your community and make new friends. See what it’s all about – watch our video invite in English or Spanish.
There are so many reasons to attend, but here are our top ten:
