I think CoastFest is a pretty perfect example of a company PR event. Rubios puts on the festival, so they get to polish up their environmentally-​friendly image. Part of the event is a beach cleanup, so the community gets a clean (er) beach. And participants get free food, so I get fed. Yay!
I admit to having a weakness for free food, and this is a great event for that. Participants (and I think non-​cleaners too, but it’s not that hard to pick up some trash!) get a taco (this year Rubio’s was promoting their tilapia), chips with guacamole, a dessert, and a drink. Last year there was some candy as well, this year there was apple sauce and churros too. Yay! But you also get a booklet and if you go around to the booths and collect stamps, you can get a free meal later at the restaurant. Mmmm…

100th review of my Unilocal 100 Challenge! Might as well make it about something community-​related that provides good karma…
For the last few years, Rubio’s has been hosting a beach cleanup and party near the Oceanside Pier. I’ve always wanted to do something to give back to the community, and was looking forward to doing this.
Unfortunately, this year’s beach clean-​up was marred by the rain… but the CoastFest went on as planned at the Oceanside Pier Amphitheatre. With free admission, free food and drink (Santa Fe Crusted Tilapia Tacos, coconut & lime bars, chips & guacamole, and even churros in the kids’ section), music provided by local bands such as Broken Stems, Max & the Moon, and The Mowgli’s, a kids’ zone full of activities for the little ones, and freebies provided by Regal Springs Tilapia Farms. SDCCU, and (of course) Rubio’s, the festival serves as both a get-​together for the community and an educational opportunity about keeping the beaches and oceans clean.
There were even surf lessons offered — but with the rain (and later, thunder and lightning), no one was taking advantage. In fact, we left early due to the weather getting even more unstable.
Still, I’m looking forward to coming back next year to serve as a volunteer for the beach clean up and to check out more of the CoastFest if the weather cooperates. Do it for all the oceans!
