The Carlsbad Charitable Foundation (CCF) is excited to announce its second bi-monthly happy hour event at the recently opened and renovated Carlsbad Windmill Food Hall. The event is open to the public and will be from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM on Wednesday, March 25th in the downstairs reception space. The happy hour will include a tour of the newly renovated outdoor patio and upstairs wedding reception space (managed by Wedgewood Weddings), hosted beer and wine bar, a charcuterie board from Bread and Cheese Eatery as well as door prizes. The event provides a great opportunity to learn more about the Food Hall and the philanthropic work that CCF does in the Carlsbad community.
