About the Event

Since 1972, the Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair has been a beloved tradition celebrating community spirit, local talent, and family fun. What began as a grassroots effort by neighbors has grown into one of the South Bay’s most anticipated annual gatherings. The fair is free to attend and filled with music, games, food, shopping, and community connection.

Visitors can explore Kid Country with rides and attractions, enjoy arts and crafts vendors, browse food and game booths hosted by local non-profits, and soak up live performances across two stages. From pony rides and petting zoos to the famous Beer & Wine Gardens, there’s truly something for everyone.

Why You’ll Love It

This fair isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about tradition. The weekend kicks off with a parade featuring Mira Costa’s band and local dignitaries, while both longtime residents and newcomers gather to celebrate what makes Manhattan Beach so special. The stages will be packed with performances, including the annual Battle of the Bands, and the Beer Garden continues to be a favorite community hangout and fundraiser for local organizations.

With its blend of nostalgia, creativity, and local pride, the Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair offers the perfect way to spend a fall weekend. Whether you’re enjoying live music, supporting non-profits, or just reconnecting with friends and neighbors, this is a South Bay staple you won’t want to miss.
