Get ready for a fun-filled day at the Camp Arroyo Grande Jamboree 2026 on Sunday, May 17, 2026 from 11am - 4pm! This family-friendly event brings the community together with something for everyone to enjoy.
In addition to the STEAM Trunk’s hands-on exhibits, visitors can explore a lively craft fair featuring local vendors, enjoy live music, get face painting done by Coast Color and Design, and take part in a wide variety of family activities throughout the day. Kids will love interactive experiences like archery and gold panning, a petting zoo, robotics demonstrations, and creative gardening activities. Community groups will also be on site with engaging displays and demonstrations.
Be sure to grab a bite—there will be a food truck on site, along with a complimentary lunch for guests during part of the day, courtesy of 5-Cities Men's Club. With so much to see, do, and discover, the Camp Arroyo Grande Jamboree is a can’t-miss celebration of community, creativity, and fun!
