– Cambria Nursery and Cambria Nursery Downtown will take part in the annual Cambria Art & Wine Festival this Saturday.

The Art & Wine Festival is a ticketed event where guests can enjoy an array of activities like wine tastings, a passport program, raffle opportunities, and more throughout the town of Cambria. This year, Cambria Nursery is partnering with the Cambria Chamber to host fun activities at both of its locations, inviting the public to support local artists.

“We are thrilled to be able to support local artists by providing them with a platform to showcase their work,” said Mike Arnold, general manager of Cambria Nursery and Florist. “Both of our locations are proud to sell items by Central Coast artists, so it felt right to welcome Lynn and Sam to be a part of the festivities.”
