Locals Night Returns to the Santa Monica Pier

On April 21st The Santa Monica Pier Corporation is once again hosting the event series, Local’s Night, which will feature live music entertainment, local art installations, and exclusive offers to local businesses.

Those who are local to the City of Los Angeles all know that there is never a shortage of things to do just around the corner. Santa Monica especially is a city filled with talented artists and musicians that have contributed to the development of the heart and soul of the city. Gather your friends and family and head down to the pier to see what Santa Monica has to offer.

At the Carousel Building, the Cayton Children’s Museum will have fun activities for kids to celebrate Earth Day early by decorating flower pots and receiving seeds to plant at home. There will also be stories and theater performances from the local Santa Monica Public Library and the Santa Monica Repertory Theater. On the Pier Parking Deck, there will be a Car Show hosted by the LA Shelby Club with incredible classics from 5:00pm-9:00pm. At the Central Plaza, there will be a live dance performance by the Santa Monica Ballet Folklorico dance company from 7:00pm-7:30pm.

If you’re looking for some local live music performances, the West End Stage of the pier will offer a performance by the Sunset Spins from PYFC (Pico Youth & Family Center) and on the East End Stage there will be the Dogtown Prophets from 5:00pm-8:00pm.

At Pacific Park, the amusement park on the pier, there will be a live musical performance by the Santa Monica Music Center’s awesome students and teachers. The Santa Monica Music Center has been a staple for the Santa Monica Community as it has been family-owned since 1972. Since then it has been contributing greatly to the community of Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and Malibu to offer local instruments available to rent.

Local’s Night by the Santa Monica Pier is one of many events throughout the year hosted by the Pier Corporation for locals to enjoy outdoors in the ocean air. Other events include Wellness & Waves, which is an exercise event in the early morning on Saturdays for locals to come together to strengthen their muscles while inhaling the salty sea air from the waves that are crashing just below.

Pacific Park is an ideal outdoor venue for many events because of its high traffic and engagement opportunity on the iconic Santa Monica Pier. The Park’s Seaside Pavilion offers spectacular views of Malibu, the Pacific Ocean, and Catalina Island. Pacific Park offers options for buy-outs, event mix-ins, activations, and opportunities to customize the world-famous Pacific Wheel.
