TGIT Happy Hour – July 18th 4 – 5:30 & Concert Afterwards

We have a double header for this Thursday, July 18. We will head to downtown Ventura for Happy Hour at Capriccio Restaurant from 4-5:30. Their menu looks great and they are reserving the middle section of the restaurant for us!

At 5:30 those interested will head over to Mission Park (easy walk to Main and Figueroa so you can keep your car parked in the same place) to hear Incendino (Prez Tom’s fav) for a free concert with the Ventura Music Festival. Blankets and low-back chairs encouraged. In fact, you might want to set up your chair/blanket before you come to TGIT. Just a thought – I am not sure when the park opens.
