Santa Cruz Night Out is a community-based event downtown where families and visitors will enjoy a variety of events showcasing the diverse cultural talents of Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz Night Out is planned for three Tuesday nights in August. The purpose of Santa Cruz Night Out is to create an open-air street fair atmosphere on Pacific Avenue (between Cathcart and Lincoln Streets) for families to enjoy while invigorating downtown businesses on a weeknight.
Many in Santa Cruz are interested in events downtown that will enrich our community while helping local businesses. Recent downtown issues and the resulting negative publicity, combined with the economic downturn have taken a toll on the health of Pacific Avenue. Santa Cruz Night Out will hope to address the issues above.
