Mission San Juan Capistrano • 1776 - 2026 Honoring the past. Inspiring our future. Follow along!

None of the popular dishes of either the first people of California or the Spaniards of the Mission period are common today. Why? How did the native people survive in the many environments of the state, and how did the introduction of agriculture change their lives? What delicacies did the pleasure-loving Californian Dons enjoy in their haciendas, and why did their cuisine die out so quickly after the USA annexed the territory? Culinary historian Richard Foss presents an insightful survey of food ways that were nearly lost but are attracting new attention in the 21st century.

Event is free with registration. Space is limited.

Celebrating 250 years of Mission San Juan Capistrano and the enduring spirit of the United States 🇺🇸
Right here in the heart of San Juan Capistrano, history isn’t just something we read about… it’s something we live, walk through, and celebrate every day.
For 250 years, the Mission has stood as a symbol of resilience, culture, and community—bringing people together through generations. From its beautiful architecture to the stories held within its walls, it reminds us how deeply rooted this town truly is.
As we celebrate this incredible milestone alongside our country, it’s a moment to reflect on where we’ve been, appreciate where we are, and look forward to what’s ahead.
Proud to be part of a community that honors its history while continuing to grow.
