CARDIFF 101 MAIN STREET ASSOCIATION<br />

PHOTOGRAPHS BY MORGAN MALLORY.<br />

The Cardiff 101 Main Street Association<br />

has deep roots in the community. Originally<br />

formed in 1963 as the Cardiff-by-the-Sea<br />

Chamber of Commerce the name was changed<br />

in 2010 to the Cardiff 101 Main Street<br />

Association, locally known as Cardiff 101. The<br />

new name better reflects the organization’s<br />

mission to promote economic vitality, historic<br />

preservation <strong>and</strong> beautification.<br />

Cardiff 101 hosts numerous popular<br />

community events. The town comes alive during<br />

the Taste of Cardiff, a celebration of the unique<br />

local restaurants <strong>and</strong> retailers. Cardiff Small<br />

Business Saturday kicks off the holiday season<br />

<strong>and</strong> promotes local businesses.<br />

Kringle Mingle is Cardiff’s most beloved<br />

Holiday celebration. A free event for the entire<br />

community with live music, holiday treats, kid’s<br />

crafts <strong>and</strong> Surfer Santa.<br />

Begun in 2005, Cardiff Dog Days of Summer<br />

has become one of the largest dog-centric<br />

events in San Diego County. This free event<br />

features over 100 dog-related vendors, rescue<br />

groups, pet adoption agencies, dog contests <strong>and</strong><br />

kids activities.<br />

Cardiff 101 activity supports local artists<br />

through mural projects that also enhance <strong>and</strong><br />

beautify the downtown business area.<br />

Cardiff has a long history of volunteers coming<br />

together to beautify the community. For many<br />

years Orville Carpentier <strong>and</strong> Wayne Holden<br />

volunteered hundreds of hours to clean-up <strong>and</strong><br />

l<strong>and</strong>scape the area around the entrance to Cardiff<br />

at Hwy 101 <strong>and</strong> Chesterfield Drive. Cardiff<br />

Chamber <strong>and</strong> later Cardiff 101 hired Linda Lee, a<br />

local horticulturist to maintain the parkway. The<br />

area is now maintained by the Cardiff-by-the-Sea<br />

Foundation <strong>and</strong> City of <strong>Encinitas</strong>. The<br />

Foundation was formed in 2016 to support the<br />

Cardiff 101 Main Street environmental <strong>and</strong><br />

aesthetic improvements.<br />

Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a charming, beautiful<br />

<strong>and</strong> historical beach community, an eclectic mix<br />

of residents, tourists, professionals <strong>and</strong> artisans<br />

seeking to live the California dream.<br />
