The Parks & Recreation Department recently permitted the first annual ArtWalk Carlsbad, a two-day fine art festival taking place on scenic Armada Drive. The event features live music, interactive art experiences, over 175 artists showcasing all mediums of fine art, chalk artists creating temporary masterpieces, a beer and wine garden, and food trucks. Complete event information is available on the ArtWalk website.
Stagecoach Goes Wireless
Wi-Fi was recently installed in Stagecoach Community Center, and is coming soon to Calavera Community Center. Visitors will now be able to multitask and get work done on their laptops and other mobile devices while visiting the center. In addition, having free and publicly available Wi-Fi creates attractive places to gather, and will provide for a greater diversity of technology-based instructional programming. Many thanks to IT staff – Joe Stephenson, Lisa Vante, and Gary Hornby – for their efforts and diligence in making this significant improvement happen.
