Hello NSGW members, a quick message from the California Adventure Club,

If you are planning on going to Southern California Weekend this year join us for a fun three-day Catalina Island adventure, October 14–16, 2026! Please note that everyone is responsible for making their own bookings for ferry transportation, hotel accommodations, museum admission, and the Eco Tour.

Hotel Accommodations:

We will be staying at the Seaport Village Inn in Avalon. If you plan to attend, please book your room soon, as rates will likely increase closer to October.

You may book directly through the hotel:

It’s also worth checking third-party booking sites such as Priceline and others, as rates may vary.
