The Del Mar Village Association (DMVA) invites you to take part in our “Keep Del Mar Green” Community Cleanup event! Together, we’ll protect our beautiful coastline, support sustainability, and make a lasting impact on our environment. We'll meet at the 17th Street Del Mar Lifeguard Station before spreading out across the beach, parks, and nearby streets to collect litter that would otherwise pollute our precious waterways. To make your efforts even more rewarding, the Del Mar Lifeguards will work with us to treat our volunteers to a delicious breakfast of eggs and pancakes. During the cleanup, we’ll use baskets from the Del Mar ShoreSaver Program—a pioneering environmental initiative led by DMVA in partnership with the City of Del Mar, EDCO, and Relic Coastal Collaborative—designed to keep our beaches pristine while promoting ecological health. We can’t wait to see you there—let’s keep Del Mar green and show some extra love to our Village beaches! Visit: https://www.visitdelmarvillage.com/communitycleanup

Join master craftsman Kevin Deal as he showcases the art of traditional cane webbing, bringing history to life before your eyes. Using natural strand cane- harvested from the outer bark of rattan, a tropical vine- he skillfully weaves seats for custom-made children’s chairs. Step back in time to the 19th Century Woodworking Chair Shop, located at the rear of the Design in Wood exhibition, and watch as Deal demonstrates techniques that have been used for generations. These handcrafted children’s chairs, made from sturdy red oak, are built using period-accurate methods, including hot hide glue- the same adhesive relied upon by fine furniture makers for centuries. Every chair is finished entirely with hand tools, just as they would have been in the 1800s. Each year, our talented woodworkers craft at least 50 chairs, which are then donated to non-profit organizations serving children. The San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association (SDFWA) members generously volunteer their time at the Fair to build these beautiful, durable chairs. If you know of a worthy organization in need of chairs, please visit the Design in Wood Information Booth to let us know. A special thank you to Strata Forest Products for their generous donation of red oak, ensuring that these timeless skills continue to benefit the community. Don’t miss this opportunity to see a master at work and experience the craftsmanship that stands the test of time! Check the San Diego County Fair website for specific times!
