Enjoy an evening of holiday music, shopping and dining in downtown Manhattan Beach. The annual Pier Lighting and Holiday Open House is the official start of the holiday season in Manhattan Beach. It is also a way for downtown Manhattan Beach's local restaurants, retail stores and businesses to thank their customers and community for their support and patronage throughout the year.

Downtown merchants will be open until 9:00 p.m. and will offer distinctive gifts and offers for the holiday season. The restaurants will be serving their original menus and some sampling to get your palate started for an evening of wonderful food. Bring your kids and remember your shopping list.

In addition to the live entertainment throughout downtown Manhattan Beach, the City of Manhattan Beach and the Downtown Business and Professional Association will be lighting the streets for the holidays with snowflake lights and lighted street banner.

The pier lighting will officially take place at 7:00 p.m. Visit the link for the full schedule.
