May calendar up now!

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

We’ve updated our May calendar for upcoming events and activities at Flying Flags RV Resort. Because we love to make our guests feel at home, we plan many regular socials and activities to give everyone  a chance to meet their neighbors and have fun right inside the park.

Our Famous BBQ takes place every Friday night, where our chef cooks up delicious barbecued chicken, ribs and seafood. Get your tickets early at the resort office, this meal is too tasty to pass up and always sells out fast! Saturdays at 6 p.m. we have all the ingredients for guests to make their own sundaes in our cafe. This is followed by a free movie by the pool as long as the weather cooperates.

And Sunday mornings, our cafe cooks up hot breakfast with plenty of options for everyone. Get a cup of coffee, delicious food and sit by the pool or take your meal back to the rig. We also make sure to post any area events going on, whether it’s the recurring Solvang Farmer’s Market or special events like the upcoming Wine Country Half Marathon.

Check out our calendar and other tips for things to do in the area on our website. Give us a call at (877) 783-5247 or go online to plan a weekend, week or longer stay at Flying Flags RV Resort.

Upcoming Festivals

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

The 2012 Vintner’s Festival brought many visitors to the area for beautiful weather, entertainment and delicious food and wine samples. The Santa Ynez Valley News put up a slideshow for the festival. If you didn’t get a chance to go to the festival, check out the photos to see what you missed!

Though Santa Barbara county is known for wine, the region does cater to many different tastes. Santa Maria Fairpark will host the 25th Annual Strawberry Festival April 27-29 with carnival rides, go kart racing, live entertainment and a lot of strawberry tastings and cooking demos. Buy tickets and get more information on the festival website.

And the Buellton Brew Fest is coming up May 12 at nearby River View Park. Make a short trip to the scenic park from noon to 4 p.m. for local beer tastings, demos and beers to purchase. Enjoy live music, food and wine — which you’ll find at most local festivals.

So many of our visitors come to the region to sample the local wines, but we have much more food, events and attractions to offer near Flying Flags RV Resort. Call us at (877) 783-5247 or go online to reserve your RV site or cabin today!
