by

Beachlife Ranch Redondo BeachBeachlife Ranch 2023 Redondo Beach

Music and lifestyle festival – September 22-24

If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend the Beach Life Ranch Festival kicks of today, September 22nd.

The weekend offers an abundance of artists that the promoter says fits the “cowboy surfer” vibe with a nice mix of country, folk, mainstream and more.

The top billing performers are Jack Johnson on Friday, Cody Jinks on Saturday and Brad Paisley on Sunday.  There are 4 stages each day and someone is performing at pretty much all times so not a dull moment.  It’s a pretty cool way to see friends, listen to some good music and have an overall chill vibe.  Hope to see you there.

Beyond the music there is plenty of food, lots of drinks and bar areas, booths and plenty to do.  It’s a really fun way to spend the weekend.

Festival Location

239 N Harbor Drive
Redondo Beach, CA 90277

Here’s the weekend lineup:

34th Annual Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks Tonight 12/11

by

Another evening of festivities is happening at the Manhattan Pier as tonight (12/11) is the 34th annual holiday fireworks. They start blasting off at 7pm. Don’t miss it!

The annual event started as a way for local business leaders to kick-off the holiday season, and give something back to Manhattan Beach.  The event has only grown over the years and now includes live music, snow park, carolers and more.  From the founder and producer:

“If you want to feel a sense of community, there is nothing like the annual Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks show. It’s as if the entire town comes to the pier to see the show and see their neighbors… By the time the sun sets and the fireworks explode, the merriest people in the world …are probably the people sitting on Manhattan Beach Boulevard, wrapped in blankets and gazing into the night sky”

So come out and join me as we once again soak-in this great event and create new memories with family, friends and neighbors.

Pete Moffett MB Holiday Fireworks founder and producer

Here’s the night’s event lineup:

  • 3:00pm – 4:00pm – Sketchers snow park opens to Friendship Foundation
