TOUR STONE SOUP
DIRECTIONS
HISTORY
The festival name traces back to a folk tale about a stranger's arrival in a starving village. The stranger promises to cook enough soup to feed the entire population. As the stranger cooks and tastes the soup, he asks each villager to contribute an ingredient for flavor. The result is a tasty, nourishing soup that feeds everyone. The moral is a reminder that by everyone pulling together and combining diverse strengths, much can be accomplished.
The founders of the Stone Soup Music Festival created the event with this story in mind. For over 30 years, each summer, the community joins together to provide a venue for a wide variety of local and guest musicians, artists, and food & merchandise vendors to celebrate cultural and ethnic diversities. The festival remains popular with locals as well as drawing thousands of visitors to Grover Beach and the surrounding communities.

Music Festival & Street Fair
Each year, the Clark Center relies on sponsors, volunteers, staff, vendors, and donors like you to continue a community tradition that has thrived for over 30 years in Grover Beach.
The Outreach Program
Pismo Beach & Grover Beach Rotary Club, the AGHS Interact Club, and the Clark Center are partnering to support The Outreach Project. Our donation goal is to raise $4,500 through online donations to fund the project. For every $0.42 raised, we can feed one person. We are asking for each person to give just $35 which provides 83 meals! Please consider a donation and SHARE this event with friends, family, and business connections.
