From Strand Walks to Mini Golf Sundays — Your Weekend Starts Here

Sponsored by

👋 Hello South Bay,

The forecast? Sunshine, soundtracks, and the kind of weekend that pulls you outside. We’ve got Strand parades, a street fair takeover in PV, comedy in a golf lounge, and a little Irish flair in Torrance.
