Ventura Home Improvement, Food & Wine Expo 2026
Ventura Breeze
May 30, 2026
You know that feeling when you walk into your kitchen and suddenly see every cracked tile and outdated cabinet? Well, the folks behind the *Ventura Home Improvement, Food & Wine Expo* are ready to help. According to the *Ventura Breeze*, the show is returning to the Ventura County Fairgrounds June 12–14, 2026, and this year it’s bringing a full Tiny Homes Village. Whether you’re dreaming of a backyard ADU for rental income or just want to taste some local wine while browsing bath fixtures, this is the place to be.
What I love about this expo is how it speaks to our local housing reality. With prices still sky-high, many of us are thinking smaller—granny units, tiny homes, or smart remodels that add value without moving. And let’s be honest, a weekend at the fairgrounds with food and wine samples sounds like a pretty good way to tackle that to-do list. Mark your calendars, Ventura—this is one home show that actually feels like a community gathering.

VenturaUnited Water Seeks Voter Approval for $350M Water Bond
Ventura County voters will have a big decision to make this November. The United Water Conservation District Board has unanimously approved placing a $350 million General Obligation Bond Measure on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot. The funds would support three priority projects aimed at securing our region’s long-term water supply — a critical issue for the Central Coast, especially as drought cycles become more frequent. According to the Ventura Breeze, the bond would finance upgrades to local water infrastructure that many of us depend on. For residents in Ventura and surrounding communities, this measure could mean more reliable water in the years ahead. It’s a conversation worth having now, before ballots arrive.
VenturaOp-ed: Hospice Should Offer Dignity, Not Deception
A recent op-ed in the Ventura Breeze by Molly Corbett, CEO of Livingston Memorial Visiting Nurse Association, reminds us that hospice care should be about dignity—not neglect. She shares the heartbreaking story of a Ventura County family whose loved one went three weeks without a nurse visit from their hospice provider. Here on the Central Coast, where community and compassion are part of our identity, this should give us pause. When we choose hospice for a family member, we're trusting that they'll be treated with respect and comfort. If you're researching options, Corbett's piece is a must-read. It's a call for transparency and accountability, and a powerful reminder that we all deserve better at life's most vulnerable moments.
