locals’ night
✨🎉 april 17, 2025 | 3:30 PM - 10:00 PM 🎉✨
Santa Monica’s favorite Thursday night tradition is back—and you’re invited to the party! Locals’ Night is your one-stop celebration of community, creativity, and coastal vibes, with everything from live music and dancing to an epic local art market and car show. Whether you’re coming for the tunes, the handmade goods, or just a killer sunset, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
This month’s lineup is stacked with local legends and rising stars—plus Salsa dancing, 30+ local vendors, and a fundraiser supporting Concrete Queenz, a nonprofit empowering girls in South LA through skateboarding. Bring your friends, your family, and your dancing shoes. We’ll see you on the Pier.
Free and open to all (21+ to drink)!
