8 September Events to Add to Your Calendar
Fall is just a few days away, and while us west coasters may not see a change in the color of our leaves, we get to enjoy sunny-and-75 weather almost year-round! We still look forward to things like pumpkin spice lattes, nights by the fire and bundling up on cooler evenings. The best part? We don’t have to wear 10 layers and shovel snow off our driveways when we want to go out. So let’s count our blessings and gear up for some September fun! Newport Beach has tons in store this month, from outdoor concerts to gardening workshops this month—here’s a sneak peek!
