Celebrate summer with the Dunes Center

The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center holds two upcoming outdoor events, including a Summer Solstice Hike on June 14 from 6:30 to 8:40 p.m. at Oso Flaco Lake. Dunes Center docent Ray Segovia will lead the nature walk, sharing information on local animals and natural history, which will end with a sunset picnic on the beach.

The Dunes Center’s Family Day at Orcutt Hill event is the second annual celebration, set for June 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Newlove Picnic Grounds at Orcutt Hill. The festivities will include softball, kids’ activities, a bounce house, Santa Maria-style barbecue, and live music by Louie Ortega.
