Pacific Grove Good Old Days

The Pacific Grove Good Old Days festival is a vibrant, family-friendly community celebration that takes over the charming streets of downtown Pacific Grove each spring. For a photographer, it offers an irresistible mix of candid street moments, colorful parades, artisan booths, live performances, and nostalgic small-town Americana. My coverage of this event focused on capturing the authentic spirit of the community—smiling faces, handcrafted details, vintage cars, and lively local bands—all framed by the coastal charm of Pacific Grove. The natural light, spontaneous energy, and heartfelt interactions made for a dynamic and diverse photographic experience that highlights the timeless appeal of this beloved local tradition.
