WOW 2.0 Schedule

The Wedding Website of Savannah Brown and Ilya Minarov
Welcome to our very own WOW! As you probably know by now, we were both very involved in Cal Poly's orientation program when we first met. See those two circles in the picture above? That's us, before we even knew each other! Cal Poly's Week of Welcome (WOW) is a touchstone of both the campus and SLO communities. In tribute to this, we have designed our own Week of Welcome leading up to the festivities, aptly renamed Week of Wedding! We plan to do some classic SLO activities, so if you are able to make it into town early enough, we would love for you to join us! Some activities are within walking distance of the venue/hotels, while others require cars to reach, but we hope that those bringing transportation will allow those without to carpool when able. All of the activities are completely optional and we have included an estimated cost for each activity to help you plan your time with us. Events are subject to change, but we aim to finalize our schedule by early May.

This was the first SLO restaurant Savannah ever went to, and she keeps coming back! Check out the menu below. Estimated cost: $20-40 Website: https://thaipalaceinslo.com

Downtown Bar Crawl

Fri, Jun 28, 2024, 10:00 pm - Sat, Jun 29, 2024, 2:00 am

Cute and Casual

The downtown bar crawl is a 21st birthday tradition in SLO that typically requires you to try the specialty drink at each bar. However, if you plan on joining the activities on Saturday, we don't recommend that approach. The bars all vary so dramatically in vibe and music that everyone is bound to find one they love. Estimated cost: up to you, some bars may have covers

Saturday, June 29, 2024

Basketball in the Park

10:00 am - 12:30 pm

Athletic

Join Ilya for a game of pickup basketball at Santa Rosa Park or just come to watch! Estimated cost: lots of sweat
