Captain Ambiance at Leucadia Nights

Friday, May 11 6-9 Leucadia Coast Highway 101 CA USA

Captain Ambiance is coming out of retirement for Leucadia Nights and will be spinning his special blend of rare and thrilling .25 cent thrift store records. Hear the smooth sounds of Hawaiiana, groove to jazz, mambo, surf and exotica. 33's and 45's all found in Encinitas thrift stores. All vinyl, that's final!

Also playing, big screen surf movies of rare and never-before-seen archival and modern footage of Campbell Brothers Bonzer surfing.

All this excitement to be found in front of The Plant Lady in north Leucadia on Hwy101.

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
