The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk's rides are open on weekends in February and on Presidents' Day, Monday the 15th of February, for full operation. You can purchase two unlimited-ride wrist bands for the price of one on 6, 7, 13, 14, and 15 February. Then, you'll want to go back for the 20th for the 29th Annual Clam Chowder Cook-Off.
