| Chautauqua Days, First Weekend in October |
| |
| The city of Pacific Grove will celebrate its origins with Chautauqua Days, a confluence of many of the institutions that make up our history. The original Chautauqua Days dating back to 1874 gave Pacific Grove an identity. The revival of Chautauqua Days on September 30, October 1 and 2 will revive that identity. It will showcase the city's assets, natural resources, culture, history, and heritage while providing learning experiences for all attendees. Pacific Grove's Art Center, the Museum of Natural History, Chautauqua Hall, city schools, the Pacific Grove Public Library, the Heritage Society, and city parks will be some of the venues to celebrate the city's heritage. |
