St. Patrick's Day is just over two weeks away. For many people, that means a meal of corned beef and cabbage. And for the adults, that meal may include a nice pint of Guinness.

February is Black History Month. Originally, officials set aside just one week to honor African American history. However, it quickly became clear that that was not nearly enough time to showcase all of the contributions African Americans made to our lives. So, it became a month-long celebration back in 1970. Ventura Celebrates Black History Month right now with a few more events planned before February ends.What: Ventura Celebrates Black History Month 2026Where: Ventura Harbor Village (1583 Spinnaker Dr)When: February 21st, 22nd & 28thAdmission: FREEVentura Celebrates Black History Month 2026Live music fills the air on Saturday, February 21st.

Millions of pounds of trash wash up on shorelines around the world each year. An Ocean Conservancy Report stated that 840,000 pounds ends up on California beaches alone.
