Colony
Days
Colony
Days is the major local "founders day" holiday
for the city of
Atascadero. The even is held the third weekend in October
and includes an
exciting parade through the downtown area plus a festival
of food, crafts
and antique cars in and around the Sunken Gardens. "Tent
City" celebrates
the origins of the city with an authentic historical
re-enact of the way the
first city settlers lived around the turn of the 20th
Century. Hundreds of
volunteers put together a tent community complete with
actors in costume, a
vaudeville revue and period music. Also, be sure you
sign up for a weekend
of swing dancing as Swing In The Colony presents nationally-renowned
swing
dance instructors and multiple performance venues.
