city festival

As a proud resident and dedicated real estate agent serving Placentia, California, I'm thrilled to share details about one of our community's most anticipated annual events: the Rotary Club of Placentia's BBQ & Brews Festival, fondly known as Cowabunga!

For over a decade, Cowabunga has been more than just a fantastic day out; it's a cornerstone of local fundraising, channeling vital support back into the heart of our North Orange County community and beyond. As Nelida Mora, a passionate member of the Rotary Club of Placentia since 2016, and proud to have served as your 2024-2025 Vice-President and on the Board of Directors, I've seen firsthand the incredible impact these funds have.

Why You Can't Miss Cowabunga!

This isn't just any festival – it's an experience designed for everyone! Imagine an afternoon filled with:

  • All-You-Can-Eat BBQ: Savor mouth-watering barbecue from top local vendors right here in Orange County.

  • Craft Beer Showcase: Discover delicious craft brews from our area's finest breweries.
