St. Anthony Celebration
Pismo Beach, CA

Portuguese and St. Anthony admirers alike will take over Pismo Beach once again for the 53rd annual St. Anthony Celebration of Pismo Beach. This celebration is to Pismo what apple pie is to Americans or what pasta is to Italians. Pismo Beach locals and visitors enjoy the unique festa and anticipate it year after year. Festivities will begin on Saturday with a special rosary and novena prayer.

There will be an exchanging of St. Anthony statues at 7 p.m. on Aug. 20 at the Veterans Memorial Hall in Pismo Beach. Weeklong activities include dances, a procession, Mass, a live auction and grand march. A beef stew lunch served at the St. Anthony Celebration Grounds at noon on Aug. 22 will conclude the events.
