I\u2019m loving fall so far with all the unpredictable weather changes; it\u2019s safe to say go out wearing layers, and trust me when I say, you\u2019ll certainly want to be able to strip off several layers once you warm up while dancing at the Salsa Music Fest on Saturday, October 22 at Freedom Park in Camarillo. This one runs from 11 am \u2013 6 pm with food and craft vendors, with dancing like there\u2019s no tomorrow to Chino Espinoza y Los Duenos Del Son! And in case you\u2019re a little rusty on your salsa skills, or have never attempted this fabulous dance, there will be beginner\u2019s salsa lessons at 11:30 along with an advanced lesson featuring star guest, Hector Sanchez. There\u2019s a lot more going on, so be sure to get the details and secure your tickets at SalsaMusicFest.com.<\/p>\n

\"Mnozil<\/a><\/p>\n

Ventura Music Festival is already busy with next year\u2019s lineup for next summer, but meanwhile, they\u2019re be partnering with Sterling Venue Ventures to bring Mnozil Brass, an Austrian band known as the \u201cMonty Python\u201d of the music world to town. The band\u2019s brand of slapstick comedy promises a fun evening you won\u2019t soon forget when they play the Oxnard Performing Arts Center on March 2, 2023. Find out more about their early bird special at VenturaMusicFestival.org.<\/p>\n

The next free Ojai Pops Concert Series show will be Sunday, October 23, with vocalists Miriam Dance and Sophie Holt featuring the music of Leonard Bernstein, John Williams, selections from Dreamgirls and Aretha Franklin. Concert starts at 3:30 pm. The next and final show will be on November 6th featuring Larktown & Friends with Lark Cobb and Todd Temanson. And just a reminder that while these shows are free, donations are greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n

The Merry Wives of Windsor will perform during the Ojai Storytelling Festival which runs October 27 \u2013 30. The ten-piece all-female folk band blending elements of folk from the British Isles and the Americas will perform during the kickoff celebration on Thursday, October 27 at Libbey Bowl. Find out more about all the performances, dates, locations and tickets at OjaiStoryFest.org.<\/p>\n

The Judy Collins and Sophie B. Hawkins concert at Libbey Bowl was cancelled due to Judy breaking an arm. The Libbey Bowl website posted that a full recovery is expected and Ms. Collins looks forward to performing at the Libbey Bowl on June 3, 2023. Original tickets will be honored.<\/p>\n

Now to the really fun stuff involving a few Halloween parties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"halloween<\/a>There are a couple of \u201cearly-bird events this year including the one at the Oceanview Pavilion in Port Hueneme where they\u2019re hosting a \u201cThriller Bash\u201d with Green Jell\u00ff (pronounced jello) and Sik Sik Siks performing on Saturday, October 22 with a ton of prizes for best costumes.
