Santa Monica’s COAST Open Streets Festival
Back for its second year today, Santa Monica’s COAST Open Streets Festival marries the open streets event concept with a robust cultural festival. This year, the City of Santa Monica is programming even more live music, interactive art, and local food for the public’s pleasure. The route is two-miles long, making it easy to walk, bike, or skate throughout Santa Monica with great views of the Pacific along the way. For more info, visit www.smgov.net/coast
COAST is free and open to everyone. We encourage you to come out for a lively Sunday in Santa Monica.
