Each summertime seems to bring with it a new batch of outdoorsy, break-out-the-grills-and-kettle-corn-drums food festivals. A new one might include food trucks or a competition, but you can always count on several freshman foodie events making a warm-weather debut.
But the tried-and-true staples of summer continue to draw the crowds, too. In fact, one can start associating a certain weekend of summer with a certain festival if one goes often enough. Such is the case with the long-running Taste in San Pedro, a water-close gathering that traditionally set up shop over the first weekend in August.
We imagine a lot of people will be making for the Port of Los Angeles, as usual, that first weekend, but here's the headline from July: Taste in San Pedro will be rescheduled, due to "financial constraints" per the Board of Directors.
That shouldn't stop you from considering a day at the Port, of course; San Pedro has had quite the headline-making season, what with the arrival of the USS Iowa. The World War II-era battleship is now open as a museum and is definitely open over that first August weekend.
