2022 Swellies! - Santa Cruz Waves

We had an amazing time celebrating with you at the 6th Annual Swellies Awards! At Santa Cruz Waves we believe that Santa Cruz would be nothing without all of our incredible local businesses. The Swellies Awards is our way of celebrating the incredible businesses and people of Santa Cruz! This year we all dressed up real nice and enjoyed live entertainment from one of our SWELLIES favorite local bands, Superblume! We enjoyed libations from Front & Cooper, Humble Sea and Bargetto Winery, and food from Aptos St. BBQ, Goodles Noodles, and Pana Food Truck!
