Since June 2000, the first
Thursday of every month is
The Bike Happening (also
known as Bike Nite) in San
Luis Obispo. People gather
after the Farmer’s Market at
the Mission Plaza with their
bikes.
One of the cultural focal
centers of San Luis Obispo is
the Christopher Cohen Performing Arts Center built on
the Cal Poly Campus, which
was constructed utilizing the
donations of local businesses and individuals. Many
high school and college programs are scheduled. Local
artists perform plays, music
and dance. The addition of
the Performing Arts Center
attracts many touring performances which are usually
not found in communities
of comparable size to San
Luis Obispo. The Summer
of 2007 was the opening
concert of the Forbes Pipe
Organ, which was built elevated into a side wall of Harmon Hall and required the
donation of a further $3 million for purchase and installation.
