Ventura Harbor to offer takeout dining options on March 24

VENTURA—Local restaurants at Ventura Harbor will be participating in the Great American Takeout on March 24. The Great American Takeout is a national campaign to bolster dining establishments by encouraging locals to buy at least one meal as a to-go or takeout.

“Ventura Harbor Village’s seafood markets continue to stay open, offering customers a safe alternative to proteins fresh off the boats. In addition, the weekly Saturday Fishermen’s Market in the Ventura Harbor Village continues from 7:30 a.m. to noon (or while supplies last),” Ventura Harbor staff said in a released statement.

Brian Pendleton, Ventura Port District’s general manager, said the Great American Takeout highlights the restaurant industry, “which has been particularly hard hit” by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic has caused consumer-based businesses to drastically slash or completely cease operations, especially in states such as California and New York.

• 805 Bar & Grilled Cheese, 661-312-7155
