Seaside offers so many fun, family events through the spring and summer. My family and I just live a few miles away, but when we spend a day or evening in Seaside it feels as if we were a million miles away from home. There is some thing very magical about spending time at Seaside whether it's for an event or just to hang out, shop and relax. Below is a list of some upcoming events you might want to plan for the next couple of months. Look forward to seeing you there.
