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
