Ventura Breeze
May 13, 2026
Mark your calendars, neighbors — the Ventura Home, Food & Wine Expo is making its big return to the Ventura County Fairgrounds from June 12 through 14, and according to the *Ventura Breeze*, it’s shaping up to be a must-attend weekend. Admission is free, which means you can wander through fresh ideas for remodeling, landscaping, and even tiny homes without spending a dime. And let’s be honest, with our coastal weather, outdoor living is practically a year-round priority here in Ventura — so the focus on patios, drought-friendly yards, and al fresco entertaining feels perfectly timed.
What I love most is how this event brings together two of our favorite local pastimes: sprucing up our homes and enjoying good food and drink. Complimentary wine, craft beer, and food tastings mean you can sip while you shop for inspiration. Whether you’re dreaming of a backyard makeover or just curious about the tiny home trend, this is a chance to connect with local pros and fellow Venturans who share that same “let’s make our space better” spirit. See you at the fairgrounds on Harbor Boulevard!

VenturaMoon Ditch Mural: Almost Done!
If you've driven southbound on the 101 near the Ventura Auto Center lately, you've probably noticed the explosion of color along the flood control channel. That's the Moon Ditch Mural, and word from the Ventura Breeze is that it's almost finished. Artist Elisa Torres has been transforming over 3,400 linear feet of concrete into a flowing canvas that connects our community to the land and water that shapes us. It's one of those projects that turns a daily commute into a moment of art. This mural isn't just about beautifying a drainage ditch—it's a landmark that tells Ventura's story. As someone who drives that stretch regularly, I can tell you it's already making the freeway feel more like home. Big thanks to the Ventura Breeze for keeping us posted. If you haven't seen it yet, take the southbound 101 between Victoria and Johnson and enjoy the final brushstrokes of a truly local masterpiece.

May is Historic Preservation Month, and local artists are giving us a beautiful way to celebrate it. The Treasures of Ventura County Art Show, now on display, features 177 original plein air paintings from 35 artists who spent the past year capturing our landmarks and landscapes on location. From historic downtown storefronts to the rolling hills and coastal bluffs that define our region, these works are a love letter to Ventura County. As reported by the Ventura Breeze, this annual showcase is more than an art exhibit—it's a reminder of the cultural and architectural treasures we sometimes take for granted. Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the 805, seeing these familiar places through an artist's eyes might just give you a fresh appreciation for home. Don't miss the chance to see Ventura County as you've never seen it before.
