Memorial Day Weekend in the South Bay

Happy Thursday South Bay,

Fiesta Hermosa is back this weekend, and if you have been around the South Bay long enough, you already know the drill. Three days of Pier Ave full of music, four stages running at once, downtown Hermosa buzzing from morning to night, and a Sunday night Silent Disco on the beach to top it off.

Outside of Hermosa, there is plenty more going on: Fleet Week along the San Pedro waterfront, a Saturday night house set on the Redondo Pier, the Antique Street Faire in Old Torrance, and the Memorial Day Ceremony at Veterans Park on Monday.
