“Sometimes things could be right under your nose, the only problem is your eyes are above it”
-Unknown
We often feel like we need to travel a long way to see something really amazing. But sometimes when you look up and really look around your own home in San Mateo County, you will see that amazing things, amazing surroundings, and amazing people are usually just under our noses.
For example, have you made a trip yet to Pacifica Performances yet? The Pacifica California organization has been staging concerts all over the community for years. It began in 1976 as the Pacifica Arts and Heritage Council, assisting art shows, sponsoring art, dance, and poetry, and providing a meeting place for artists within Pacifica.
Today, Pacifica Performances is housed in the Mildred Owen Concert Hall, a former school building transformed into a beautiful 175-seat concert hall. With a focus on live performances, the roster that they have today boasts a variety of acts – from Latin rhythms to stand up comedy. Below are a few upcoming events. As you read them, and possibly explore further into these musicians, you may find something truly amazing right outside your Pacifica home.
Los Boleros
When: Saturday, January 15th @7:30 pm
Dance moves, spins, passion! Los Boleros brings you back to the golden era of traditional Cuban son, cumber, merengue, danzon, and, of course, bolero! The lead singers combine a Havana-born son of a famous vocalist, the amazingly clear voice of an experienced performer, and the addition of Flutes, Sultry Saxophone, dreamy violin and smoking Tres Cubano.
Richard Smith
When: Saturday, January 22 @7:30 pm
What do you get when you combine Scott Joplin Rags, Sousa marches, Mozart, fiddle tunes, Chet Atkins, Django gypsy jazz, Bach, and the Beatles? Answer: Richard Smith’s Virtuoso Guitar Series. This British-born musician showed incredible talent as a toddler. He can quickly master whatever guitar style that piques his interest, often taking only a single hearing to get it down. He really is a musical prodigy and definitely worth seeing at least once.
Bobbe Norris, Kenny Washington with Larry Dunlap Trio
When: Saturday, January 29@7:30 pm
If you’ve ever missed the voices of Nat ‘King’ Cole and Ella Fitzgerald, here is a wonderful reminder. Bobbe and Kenny come from soulful New Orleans roots, inspired by the greats. This is your chance to see the two of them together on stage.
Will Durst
When: Saturday, February 5
5 Time Emmy Nominee. 7 Time American Comedy Awards Stand Up of the Year Nominee. First comic invited to perform at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. This man has done it all and has got the resume to prove it. This political comic is a C-SPAN darling, and now he is coming to Pacifica.

What did we tell you about looking right under your nose? We would say that these acts are pretty impressive and they are just the tip of the iceberg. Pacifica, California is a place full of art, culture and performance. There is so much to love about this neighborhood, but it’s best explained by showing. When you are ready to come take a look at what Pacifica Real Estate has to offer, please give us a call.

Do you enjoy getting your hands dirty? Or maybe you care about the San Mateo Coastal environment in which you live and have been looking for a way to get involved! Well, thanks to Pacifica Gardens; there’s a way to do both! Part of the joy we find in living on the San Mateo Coast is the involvement of the community with its’ surroundings. There’s a great sense of being a part of something bigger and wanting to make each city along the coast, a beautiful place to call home.
Pacifica Gardens is an urban agricultural project spanning 30,000 square feet located on an abandoned soccer field at Linda Mar High School in Pacifica. This project of Pacifica’s Environmental Family, is a non-profit organization with a goal to “increase environmental awareness in the community and in the schools” with a mission of: Educate, Cultivate and Inspire. There always seems to be something new and exciting taking place at the gardens from workshops to new plants or volunteer opportunities. Current projects that are taking place are culinary and medicinal herbs, biointensive food gardens, native plants, food donation programs, adult composting workshops and much more!
This outstanding community organization exists because of the help from volunteers and local supporters! Each Saturday, volunteers are welcome to drop by the gardens to help out! You can stay all day or just help out for an hour, with any volunteer work being greatly appreciated. There are opportunities to serve the community on a regular basis by being a part of one of the watering teams or the building team, there are also crews who enjoy native plants, harvesting, planting or picking. There are a number of ways to get involved!
The next Composting Workshop will be Sunday, September 12 from 2-4pm and is free to attend! Check out the Pacifica Gardens website for more information. The Pacifica community is a town in which the environment and personal growth are of upmost importance and it spills out into everything the residents do!
