Weekly flea market to open at Paso Robles Event Center Nov. 1
Paso Robles Daily News
October 29, 2026
Looks like Sundays in Paso are about to get a lot more interesting. The Paso Robles Flea Market is set to open its gates at the Event Center starting Nov. 1, and the grand opening comes with free admission and free parking — a combination that's hard to beat around here.
There's something about a flea market that fits this town perfectly. We're a community that treasures the vintage, the handmade, and the just-plain-weird finds, and having a weekly spot to dig through other people's treasures feels like a natural extension of that spirit. Whether you're hunting for mid-century furniture, local produce, or just a reason to get out and wander on a Sunday morning, this gives us one more excuse to gather.
Big thanks to the Paso Robles Daily News for the heads-up. Mark your calendars, bring cash, and maybe leave a little room in the truck — you never know what you'll come home with.

Paso RoblesPaso Robles Youth Arts Center among nine finalists for $20,000 at The Pitch
Here's some exciting news for our local creative community: the Paso Robles Youth Arts Center has been named one of nine finalists for a $20,000 prize at The Pitch, and Natalia Esquivel will make the case for the nonprofit on Nov. 10 at Cal Poly. If you've seen the artwork, performances, and confidence coming out of that center, you know this isn't just any arts program — it's a place where local kids find their voice. For a town that prides itself on supporting its own, this is a chance to cheer on a homegrown organization doing meaningful work with young people. The $20,000 would go a long way for a nonprofit like this, and win or lose, the recognition alone puts Paso Robles Youth Arts on a bigger stage. Mark your calendars for Nov. 10 and send some good vibes Natalia's way. Thanks to the Paso Robles Daily News for keeping us posted on this one — it's the kind of local story worth following.
Paso RoblesCity opens Pioneer Park property to proposals for cultural projects
Big news for our north side, Paso friends — the city has officially opened up the Pioneer Park property near the Event Center to proposals for cultural projects. The Paso Robles Daily News reports that ideas are due by January 19, so there's a real window here for local artists, makers, and community groups to dream up something special for that space. Pioneer Park has always felt like a bit of an underused gem, tucked right next to where we gather for concerts and the Mid-State Fair. Turning it into a cultural hub could mean more reasons to linger downtown, more local flair, and a real gathering spot that reflects who we are. It's the kind of project that can shape the character of our city for years. If you've got a vision — a makers' market, a sculpture garden, a performance nook — now's the time to speak up. Keep an eye on the city's RFP and get those proposals in before the deadline. This is our chance to help write the next chapter of a beloved corner of Paso.
Paso RoblesChamber names Castoro Cellars owners Templeton Citizens of the Year
Big congratulations are in order for Niels and Bimmer Udsen of Castoro Cellars, who've just been named Templeton Citizens of the Year by the Paso Robles & Templeton Chamber of Commerce. If you've spent any time in Templeton, you know Castoro — it's been a fixture of our wine community for decades, and the Udsens have long been the kind of neighbors who show up for local causes, not just pour great wine. The Chamber also honored Templeton Floor Company as Business of the Year, a nice nod to the homegrown businesses that keep our small-town economy humming. Paso Robles Daily News had the story first, and it's a good reminder that the folks behind our tasting rooms and storefronts are often the same people volunteering at events and supporting local schools. Stop by Castoro and raise a glass to the Udsens — and while you're at it, say thanks to the local businesses that make Templeton feel like Templeton.
