Santa Cruz Swing Festival

The festival is a three-day event (April 17-19), see the schedule at santacruzswingfest.com/schedule .This announcement is for a free outdoor dance on Sunday. The event will occur on the dance floor almost at the very end of the Santa Cruz Wharf (if you came across Vino by the Sea, look back). Before going, re-check the festival schedule and weather (in case of rain an alternate location will be announced).

Logistics: This is my first time at the location, so you are on your own. Generally, parking on the wharf itself is possible, and not very expensive ($3 hourly, $24 maximum). The dance floor photos look nice, but your good dance shoes might not work well (and in a case of a large crowd you might have to dance on concrete). There is practically no shade, so sun protection might be very important. As is always the case of events with uncertain attendance, bringing one's own dance partner might be wise.
