Watch Video Message from Mayor Perotte

One of Goleta’s favorite events is coming up on Saturday, August 15. We hope you can join us for Goleta’s Dam Dinner at the scenic Lake Los Carneros Dam from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. Watch this video invitation from Mayor Paula Perotte to find out more about this low-key special event. The video is also available in Spanish featuring the City’s Spanish Engagement Specialist Marcos Martinez. New this year, Cycling Without Age will be at the event to give a ride to anyone who needs it. This is a great way for anyone with mobility issues to still enjoy the event.

The Dam Dinner is a popular Goleta event bringing together neighbors and friends. Tables and chairs are set along the dam with breathtaking views of Lake Los Carneros and the mountains. Bring your own picnic dinner and beverages or purchase food at the event from 805 Lobo Butcher Shop. Enjoy live bluegrass music courtesy of the Salt Martians. Commemorate the event with a Dam Dinner t-shirt. Bring the kids to this family-friendly event – there will be face painters, Kona Ice, and the Goleta Valley Library Bookvan.

As a reminder, the City has a plastic reduction ordinance in place, and we ask you to please not bring single-use plastics. As a free gift to you, attendees will receive a reusable travel utensil set to use and keep courtesy of the City of Goleta.
