The Truck Stop\u2019s Fish Taco Friday<\/strong>
\nThe absolutely delicious and innovative Santa Cruz mobile food truck The Truck Stop<\/a> now gets produce fresh from a local farm in Soquel called Branch Out Farm<\/a>. Owner and chef Fran Grayson is throwing a fun picnic dinner this Friday at the farm; advance tickets are required. Buy tickets and get address of farm here<\/a>. Grayson promises \u201clegendary fish tacos with seasonal sweet and savory salsas straight from the garden.\u201d For $25, you get lots of tacos, some snacks to start, and lemon-basil cooler to drink. Kids are charged $5 for \u201ckidsadillas\u201d (veggie quesadillas). You\u2019re encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chairs for seating.<\/p>\n

Saturday Sausagefest from Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing<\/strong>
\nSanta Cruz Mountain Brewing<\/a> is hosting the seventh annual Sausagefest which includes sausage from vendors including el Salchichero, Freedom Meats and Corralitos Market, and homemade sauerkrauts, relishes, pickles, and mustards. There will also be Bavarian pretzels, caramel apples, ice cream from The Penny Ice Creamery, and lots of organic ale. San Francisco punk\/polka band Polkacide is performing.<\/p>\n

The festival, from 4-7pm, has an admission fee of $5 for adults (includes souvenir glass) and it\u2019s free for kids. Beer and sausages will be for sale; event proceeds will benefit Friends of Santa Cruz Parks. Doors open at 3:30pm and the event is at the location of the Westside Farmers Market<\/a> at the corner of Mission Street Extension and Western Drive.<\/p>\n
