Beachlife Festival Comes to Redondo Beach For 3 Days of Fun
One of our favorite South Bay events is back in town this weekend. The Beachlife Festival is 3 days of music, entertainment and community fun. We had the chance to go on Friday and it was fantastic as always. There is, of course, the music, which covers a lot of genres and there’s definitely something for everyone. There’s plenty of food and craft beer, booths of local companies, game areas with ping pong, and cornhole and more. The event has 4 stages and our favorite is always the lowtide stage as you watch from the sand of Seaside Lagoon so it’s really like a day at the beach. Visit the Beachlife Festival page for more information. Here’s the set list and times:
Happy St Patrick’s Day
To our friends in the South Bay we wish you a very happy St Patrick’s Day
Let’s Go Rams!
Looking forward to the Rams winning the Superbowl today!
