Another summer weekend in Santa Cruz, and as usual, there’s no shortage of events to take part in.
It’s too late to enter the Wharf to Wharf Race, but that doesn’t mean you can’t head down to the race to watch. Speaking of watching, Derby fans are going to be watching, and cheering, this Sunday as the Santa Cruz Derby Girls play a matinee double header at the Kaiser Permanente Arena.
