summertoRemember Summer is Carpinteria’s time to shine. Our sleepy


seaside town stretches and yawns from its winter rest to find its shops, sidewalks, and beach bustling and busy. No one is wasting any time in creating a Summer to Remember. Yes, we agree every summer is a season to remember, but how about making this one the brightest in a field of stars?


Music, miles traveled, and the deep blue sea. What


better way to kick off a Summer to Remember? Carpinteria’s homegrown band, The Upbeat, is still making music magic after all these years. Back before any of the band members were born, Marty Panizzon and Steve Rose spent a summer pedaling from New York to Carpinteria, and that was after bicycling around Western Europe.


Opting for an aquatic sport, visitors and locals alike are taking to Stand Up Paddle Boarding like, well, like ducks to water. Not everyone is at the beach, though. Others are on land tending their avocado orchards with the renaissance of organic farming in growing Carpinteria’s cash crop. Artists, too, have planted themselves outside and draw their inspiration from the countryside.


In these pages we’ve also managed to pack in a new health feature, a marvelous slice of fiction (though it is too short! Can’t wait for the novel to be finished), and a conversation with the creators and owners of Porch, Carpinteria’s beacon of retail.


As a surprising economic twist, Carpinteria Magazine cooked up a new Dining Guide because so many new restaurants have recently opened. A half dozen new eateries are ready to be sampled and the fare is as varied and upscale as it gets – wood-fired pizza, boutique cupcakes, and a healthy crop of fresh, organic field-to-table chef’s specialty dishes welcome you to a taste of Carpinteria just about anywhere your fancy takes you to feast.


No matter what is on your menu of summer fun, be sure to jot down a note


to “eat in Carpinteria!” And, you’ll never forget this Summer to Remember. Enjoy,
