It takes place every Thursday night beginning about five O'clock. Food and vegetable venders line the street, with ribs being a great favorite. Music, panamine and other past days entertainment also fill Higuera Street. It is only a short walk from the railroad station. It makes a good outing from those travelers from the south who want to ride the train up through some of the most remote coast to San Luis Obispo.
Ocean views are many all the way up the coast.
Just north of Higuera Street is the San Luis Creek. You may dine on the creek, or in the close vicinity at the many restaurants. The area of the San Luis Obispo dela Terosa Mission stands on the other side of the creek. The city has landscaped the creek and the grounds in front of the mission. Visitors are allowed to enter the mission.
