Summer in Capitola means it’s time to party on the Esplanade.
Come out to the Capitola Village this summer for the Sunday Art & Music at the Beach series, presented by the Capitola Art & Cultural Commission.
For six Sunday’s this summer the Esplanade plays host to local artists, and live music.
Art
Each year local painters, photographers, jewelers and more come out to show off their latest work and mingle with the crowds. The event prides itself on bringing together a collection of accomplished artists representing diverse mediums.
While there are dozens of artists scheduled to appear, here is a small sampling of the artists who you will find at the Art & Music events this summer:

When asked about the Art & Music event Maia said, “I LOVE this summer event, it’s a great show. It occurs at the very location where I learned to surf (and surfing and the ocean are big-time inspirations for my work), and it is where I had my very first art show 8 years ago.”

It appears that the dates posted for the 6 Sundays in Capitola are incorrect for 2015??? I will be visiting from Thursday July 16-Monday-July 20th and the Sunday in July is the 19th. It is posted as July 14th?
Hi Carol,
You’re right…those dates you saw were for a previous year. We will likely cover this event this year, but until then, you can find the updated dates for this summer here: http://www.cityofcapitola.org/acc/page/sunday-art-music-beach.
