Jasmine Singh is the Events & Marketing Coordinator for the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and plans all things events related, including the Chamber’s upcoming Oktoberfest on Sept. 29 and its 60th anniversary celebration Oct. 24 at the Institute of Contemporary Art, North.
Born in New Dehli, India, Jasmine has called Encinitas home for the past 10 years. “I grew up in Orange County and always felt drawn to this area. My family took trips along the coast, and we’d rent a house in Encinitas during the summers. Those trips are fond memories and left me with a deep connection to this community.”
After graduating with a Sociology degree from UC Santa Cruz, Jasmine gained experience managing large events like Ohana Festival, Bhakti Fest, and nonprofit fundraisers. She also founded Nomad Eats, a Vegan food company.
“Recently I sold my business, a plant-based food pop-up and cheese sauce company. Running that business gave me firsthand insight into the challenges entrepreneurs face.”
She brings this insight into her role for the Encinitas Chamber.
“I’m passionate about creating experiences that bring our community together and spark joy. My love for hosting has evolved from intimate gatherings at home to organizing large-scale events like our upcoming Oktoberfest which will feature traditional German food and beer as well as a local headliner band, a new dog costume contest, and more.”
“I’m especially excited for our 60th anniversary celebration, where we will honor outstanding businesses and individuals with awards, live music, a paella chef, and a live painting of the event. Our goal is to make every business feel valued as we celebrate this diamond milestone together.”
In her role, Jasmine also handles all of the Chamber’s social media. “We share everything from our Visit Encinitas pop-ups to member spotlights, business specials, ribbon-cuttings and our upcoming mixers and events. Our goal is to empower and support local businesses, so you’ll see us promoting their latest offerings and celebrating their successes. Follow us @encinitaschamber to stay up to date on what’s happening around our city.”
Perfect day in Encinitas?
Starts with a class at Pilates Leucadia, then to Just Peachy to pick up ingredients for a beach picnic. Next is Beacon’s Beach for a dip in the ocean and some quality time with friends, wrapping up the day with an old fashioned at Roxy and a show at the Belly Up, where I dance the night away.
