Those who were walking from Shell Beach to Dinosaur Caves Park on Oct. 28 heard music, saw bouncy houses from Central Coast Party Factory and children playing during Pismo Beach’s annual Pumpkins in the Park Event.

On June 15, California will decide whether to lift COVID-19 restrictions and fully re-open businesses. For Central Coast music venues and musicians who have been on hold since 2020 preparations for summer concerts are underway.
Monte Schaller, general manager at The Siren in Morro Bay, said it’s been a long time since the club has presented live music.
“The last ticketed show that we did for a touring artist was March 13 or 14, and then we had one free local event in June. So yeah, it’s been about a year,” Schaller said.
Before the pandemic, The Siren brought live music to capacity crowds of 300 indoors. With the possibility of lifted Covid-19 restrictions, Schaller said he is thinking about bookings again.
