New Monterey's Lighthouse District is happy to announce that Monterey County moved from the most restrictive Purple Tier into the Red Tier on Tuesday, March 16.
What this means for businesses in Monterey is:
Restaurants are allowed 25% indoor dining in addition to current outdoor dining, take-out, curbside pick-up, and delivery (please view our Dining Guide to see what's available - it's updated frequently)
Retail shops can increase in-store shopping from 20% to 50% capacity
Entertainment venues (such as movie theaters, the Aquarium, etc.) can open at 25% capacity
Fitness studios and gyms can open indoors at 10% capacity
It is extremely important that we all continue to follow health requirements such as wearing masks and social distancing so that Monterey County stays in the Red Tier and we are able to progress to the Orange and Yellow Tiers, which have even fewer restrictions. Vaccinations are increasing and hospitalizations are decreasing, but the pandemic is not over yet.
This move into the Red Tier reflects all the hard work the business community and our residents have done so far! Congratulations on a job well done. Keep it up, everyone!

Well, we're back in the Red Tier again. Actually, we've been back in it for almost two weeks now.
We've been here before, but this time it's a little bit different because Santa Clara County is no longer practicing a more restricted version of the Red Tier guidelines produced by the State of California. Whatever it says is allowed in the Red Tier on the Blueprint for a Safer Economy website is what's now allowed in Santa Clara County.
The key differences between the Purple Tier and the Red Tier are:
Other details:
Keep in mind that just because something is allowed doesn't mean that it's available yet. Some businesses are understandably hesitant to move too fast and others would like to do more, but don't have the staffing yet. Not being able to keep up with improving conditions and loosening restrictions is a nice problem to have, but still a problem. Please be patient and understanding as our businesses have had a very rough go at things in the past few months with all of the opening and closing they've had to do.
Thanks to the progress that we've made, it's looking very likely that Santa Clara County will end up in the Orange Tier again when we become eligible to exit the Red Tier on March 24th. Decreasing infection rates, warmer weather, and increasing vaccination rates are all good trends that point toward better days coming soon, but the lessons of past pandemics suggest that there's a good chance of seeing one last sneaker wave that hits when everyone lets their guard down too soon. I don't want to ever have to explain the Red Tier again so please please please continue to be the most responsible version of yourself until we're one month past the end of the pandemic. Be super diligent about keeping a mask on whenever possible when you're around people, especially if it's indoors.

Mai is still making beautiful and fun items that are great for gifting. Find them here on the Play Full Ground website and support a local artist.
At Lilify, we are totally smitten with our mud cloth mini clutch, handmade in Monterey by Mikaela Bianchi of Feather Me Orange.
Mud cloth, or bogolanfini, is an ancient Malian (West African) textile dating back to the 12th century. Traditionally, it involves coarse, hand-spun cotton strips going through a long series of dyeing processes - first in a bath with leaves and branches, then numerous dye cycles in fermented mud (hence the name) - to achieve minimalist, symbolic designs.
Our mud cloth clutches are available in two sizes and in two different patterns. With brass hardware and zipper, leather tie, and cotton lining, these pieces are available online and in our shop at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
