Hermosa Beach’s semi-annual blowout combines hundreds of artisans and craftspeople with opportunities to swim, bike, fish, or just relax on the beach.

The fun includes a Kiddie Carnival with a 30 foot slide, mechanical rides, rock climbing wall and bungee jump, and games for kids from 3 to 10 years old, not to mention pony rides, a petting zoo, and facepainters. Families can also enjoy plenty of live music – all with the ocean as backdrop.

The annual festival is located in downtown Hermosa Beach on Pier Plaza, Hermosa Avenue and lower Pier Avenue.

Shuttle buses are available to and from the Northrup Grumman parking lot at Space Park Drive and Doolittle Drive, and a free bicycle valet operates just south of Hermosa Beach Pier.
