Dana Point has a rather busy weekend this Sept 8 and 9. We have been blogging about the Doheny Days Music Festival happening that weekend, but there's also the Tall Ships Festival with lots of family activities around the Ocean Institute. And to top it all: how about a surf competition with a free concert ( in case you can't make it to Doheny Days) with Donavon Frankenreiter on beautiful Salt Creek Beach Park?

The city of Dana Point is ready to host the 2nd Annual Dana Point BBQ Championship which will bring world class barbeque chefs from all over the country, and as part of the event, the public can sample various BBQ meats prepared by the competitors in the People's Choice Tasting. Prize money is generated from team entries and represents a 100% payout of all fees received. This year there will be a $15000 prize, and the judging process will be done by KCBS (Kansas City Barbeque Society), a non profit organization dedicated to enjoying and promoting barbeque, and that has over 15,000 members worldwide.

Farmer Markets are a great idea with the convenience of also having some fun, as many of them often have live music or some kind of entertainment - or , like San Clemente or Laguna Beach, the locations where they are held at, are top notch - a little walk and you'll end on the beach.
As part of the many events that one can enjoy in the city of Dana Point, there's the many events hosted by the Ocean Institute - come for a night of fun, food and music!
While many music festivals get landlocked at some remote inland location, the city of Dana Point makes the exception every time with many musical events through out the year.

The event will be held at Doheny Beach  - and will include many top musicians and bands on three different stages, eco exhibits, works from local artists with a huge vendor village, and many booths with food and beverages for purchase.
