Attractions

Interfaith Service, "God Loves Gays"

We are God's Rainbow People! Despite the churches who try to keep us out, we know that God loves gays, and that God celebrates our diversity and our loving relationships. Start your Pride festival with 30 minutes of music, worship and reflection led by members of the Coalition of Welcoming Congregations - congregations in SLO County which welcome LGBT people. Whoever you are and wherever you are in your faith journey, you'll be welcome!

805 South

Listen to 805 South online now.

805 South is a Los Angeles based blues-rock band that is a fusion of original Memphis Rhythm and Blues, Nashville songwriting, southern rock guitar, groove pumping drums and smooth bluesy bass lines. If "Black Crowes", "Etta James", and "Cream" had a baby, then 805 South would be that love child. They have been called "Stevie Ray Vaughan" with chicks and a female version of "Jimi Hendrix".
