A community tradition since 1946, the annual Pismo Beach Clam Festival, attracts generations of families and visitors from all around, who look forward to spending three days overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Pismo Beach.

This family friendly event features the Clam Festival parade on Saturday morning at 10am. Join us on Price Street for the parade this year!

The Clam Festival is a free event that includes live music, local vendors and food trucks, and a huge FREE Kids Zone that includes bounce houses and inflatables! Both mornings AmpSurf will be hosting their Operation Restoration Learn to Surf Clinic. You can find more information on this event at https://www.ampsurf.org/

Saturday’s best local clam chowder cook-off contest is a crowd favorite where local Pismo Beach restaurants get the chance to compete for the title of Best Local Clam Chowder Winner. Pick your favorite and be the judge for the People’s Choice winner.

Date: October 19 - 20, 2024
