As of the 2020 United States census, 2020 census, the city population was 62,956. Situated on the northern edge of Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz is a popular tourist destination, owing to its beaches, surf culture, and historic landmarks.

International Women's Collaboration Brew Day
International Women's Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD) is an annual event that takes place each year on International Women's Day (8 March). The event gathers women brewers around the world who brew a beer around that year's theme. It was established to raise awareness of women in the brewing industry, especially as beer brewmasters. It also networks women interested in brewing. From 2025, the event is organised by Women On Tap CIC, marking its return after a year hiatus with the theme UNITE SOCIETY. Brewers are encouraged to use the event to raise funds for, or donate to, women's causes. Commercial breweries are encouraged to commit to a minimum £100 donation to a non-profit women's organisation or group. The Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) is the campaign’s headline partner, with Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) on board as an Education Partner, and additional sponsorship pledged from Simpsons Malt. History The idea for the IWCBD came from Project Venus member, ...

Holidays And Observances By Scheduling (nth Weekday Of The Month)
A holiday is a day or other period of time set aside for festivals or recreation. ''Public holidays'' are set by public authorities and vary by state or region. Religious holidays are set by religious organisations for their members and are often also observed as public holidays in religious majority countries. Some religious holidays, such as Christmas, have become secularised by part or all of those who observe them. In addition to secularisation, many holidays have become commercialised due to the growth of industry. Holidays can be thematic, celebrating or commemorating particular groups, events, or ideas, or non-thematic, days of rest that do not have any particular meaning. In Commonwealth English, the term can refer to any period of rest from work, such as vacations or school holidays. In American English, "the holidays" typically refers to the period from Thanksgiving to New Year's (late November to January 1), which contains many important holidays in American cultu ...

Beer Culture
Beer is an alcoholic beverage produced by the brewing and fermentation of starches from cereal grain—most commonly malted barley, although wheat, maize (corn), rice, and oats are also used. The grain is mashed to convert starch in the grain to sugars, which dissolve in water to form wort. Fermentation of the wort by yeast produces ethanol and carbonation in the beer. Beer is one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drinks in the world, and one of the most popular of all drinks. Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours and act as a natural preservative and stabilising agent. Other flavouring agents, such as gruit, herbs, or fruits, may be included or used instead of hops. In commercial brewing, natural carbonation is often replaced with forced carbonation. Beer is distributed in bottles and cans, and is commonly available on draught in pubs and bars. The brewing industry is a global business, consisting of several ...

National Beer Day (United States)
National Beer Day is celebrated in the United States every year on April 7, marking the day that the Cullen–Harrison Act came into force after having been signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933. April 6, the day before, is known as New Beer's Eve. The 18th Amendment was later repealed by the ratification of the 21st Amendment on December 5 that year, officially ending Prohibition. Background Prohibition in the United States on the national level revolved around the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, which generally banned "intoxicating liquors" but did not define the term, with some members of Congress assuming that the amendment pertained to liquor and not beer and wine. Then head of the Anti-Saloon League, Wayne Wheeler, drafted an enforcement act which was sponsored by Andrew Volstead; the National Prohibition Act, which came to be known as the Volstead Act, defined intoxicating liquors as any containing more than 0.5% alcohol and made ...

Green Beer Day
Green Beer Day (GBD) is an unofficial day-long party near the Miami University campus, where celebrants drink beer dyed green with artificial coloring or natural processes. The tradition was started by bar owners in Oxford, Ohio, and is celebrated annually on the Thursday before Miami University's spring break. Green Beer Day started in the early 1980s after a change in Miami University's academic calendar caused St. Patrick's Day to fall during spring break when students were gone. Local bar owners tried various names for their new day of drinking (including "Wild Irish Fun" in 1981) before settling on the name "Green Beer Day" in 1982. Claims that Green Beer Day began in 1952 are wrong. Green beer was consumed in Oxford on St. Patrick's Day (March 17) prior to the university calendar change just as it was all over the country. Green Beer Day has been called Miami University's "biggest tradition" although it is not sanctioned by the university. Tradition Students begin to drink a ...

Beer Day Britain
Beer Day Britain is an annual event celebrating beer in the United Kingdom. The date has been celebrated annually on 15 June since 2015. It is supported by the British Beer and Pub Association, the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), and the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). Origin The date was chosen because 15 June is also the date that Magna Carta was sealed in 1215 and ale is mentioned in clause 35 of Magna Carta, which states: :''Let there be throughout our kingdom a single measure for wine and a single measure for ale and a single measure for corn, namely 'the London quarter''' Beer Day Britain was instigated by beer sommelier, writer and drinks educator Jane Peyton, alongside brewers Sara Barton and Sophie de Ronde. It took place for the first time in 2015. The main focus of the day is the National Cheers To Beer that takes place at 7 pm when people also sing the Cheers To Beer anthem co-written by Peyton. There had been an earlier attempt to set up a National Bee ...

Beer Day (Iceland)
In Iceland, Beer Day () is celebrated every year on March 1, honoring the elimination of the 74-year prohibition of beer. Prohibition lasted from January 1, 1915 to March 1, 1989. Origin In a 1908 referendum, Icelanders voted in favor of a ban on all alcoholic drinks, going into effect January 1, 1915. In 1921, the ban was partially lifted after Spain refused to buy Iceland's main export, fish, unless Iceland bought Spanish wines; then lifted further after a national referendum in 1935 came out in favor of legalizing spirits. Strong beer (with an alcohol content of 2.25% or more) was not included in the 1935 vote in order to please the temperance lobby—which argued that because beer is cheaper than spirits, it would lead to more depravity. As international travel brought Icelanders back in touch with beer, bills to legalize it were regularly moved in parliament, but inevitably were shot down on technical grounds. Prohibition lost more support in 1985, when the Minister of ...
