Holidays by the Sea at the Port of Los Angeles is one of the most festive and lively holiday events along the waterfront. Held at San Pedro Town Square, this celebration brings music, performances, seasonal activities, and a community spirit that fills the harbor with warmth. The event runs from 4:00 to 8:00 pm and offers a wide range of activities for guests of all ages.

Visitors can look forward to performances by the San Pedro City Ballet, whose dancers bring elegance and energy to the evening. Snow play adds a whimsical touch that kids especially enjoy, while holiday carolers and a marionette show bring a nostalgic, cheerful feel. These elements create a lively holiday atmosphere that transforms the waterfront into a family-friendly winter celebration. The holiday tree lighting, scheduled for 5:00 pm, serves as one of the night’s highlights, drawing everyone together for a shared moment of seasonal joy.

The event is free and offered in partnership with local groups including West Harbor, Tim McOsker, and Downtown San Pedro. Guests are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy, with donations benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of the Los Angeles Harbor. This tradition adds a meaningful layer to the festivities, turning a fun evening into an opportunity to support local families during the holiday season. The LA Harbor Holiday Parade will also be part of the celebration, adding movement and color along the waterfront.

Gatherings like this showcase the vibrant, community driven spirit of the South Bay. The way the Port of Los Angeles brings together local performers, organizations, and neighbors to create a joyful shared experience is a perfect example of why We Love South Bay Local. It is the combination of tradition, generosity, and connection that makes this area feel welcoming throughout the year.

With its mix of entertainment, giving, and holiday celebration, Holidays by the Sea offers a special way to enjoy the season along the San Pedro waterfront.
