Laguna Ocean Foundation and partnering organizations teamed up to educate the public about local coastal ecosystems through KelpFest, which made its return Saturday.
A group of mostly Spanish-speaking Costa Mesa voters petitioned the City Council during a budget discussion Tuesday to prevent rent increases they say threaten to displace them.
Festivities went off without a hitch at Lions (aka Airplane) Park, which accommodated a beer and wine garden and dining area, Ferris wheel and other rides for the young at heart Friday through Sunday.
