Squibbing Day
September 2026 (date TBA) 
Noon to 3 p.m. 
Cambria Historical Museum gardens, Center and Burton

Squibbing Day is Cambria’s Fall cleanup day, named for Paul and Louise Squibb, owners of the historic Squibb House. When out walking, the Squibbs picked up any trash that detracted from Cambria’s attractive ambience. They did this so frequently that they became well known for tidying up the town. Others often joined them, and picking up trash while strolling around Cambria became known as Squibbing. Eventually, SLO County Supervisors designated May 1 as the town’s official Squibbing Day. Beautify Cambria has resurrected this tradition.

Pick up your collection bag, gloves and other equipment at Cambria Historical Museum gardens. Come any time between noon and 3 p.m. Free cookies and lemonade fuel hardworking Squibbers!
