The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau host the 2nd Annual Sidewalk Festival in Downtown Hermosa Beach on Saturday, November 19, 2011 from noon until 8:00 pm. The event will feature live music, children’s activities, special offers from local businesses and of course, a visit from the jolly, fat man, himself, Santa Claus. So slip into comfortable footwear, gather a few friends for a quick round of cocktails and get some shopping done!
ArtLife Gallery is celebrating their first year in business this Friday, November 18, 2011 from 5:00 to 9:00 pm. They’ll be featuring a group exhibition by local fine artists, cocktails, appetizers and live music. Take a moment to stop by and maybe pick up a gift for someone on your list. ArtLife Gallery is located in Plaza El Segundo.
One of my favorite South Bay bands, Smokin’ Smitty & the Masters of Music will be playing at a couple of local venues this weekend. The band features former members of Earth, Wind & Fire, James Brown’s and Ike & Tina Turner’s bands. They’ll be rockin’ the house at Baleen at Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club on Saturday, November 19, 2011 from 9:00 pm to 12:00 am and at Shark’s Cove on Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 8:00 pm. You better wear your dancin’ shoes!
Every Friday evening from 6:00 to 9:00, Revamp Boutique & Glam Lounge hosts a shopping happy hour. Why not stop by, have a glass of wine, browse the racks and get a jump start on the weekend? Revamp is located at 209 Avenue I in Riviera Village. Be sure to tell them Jackie sent you!
Don’t forget, Triton Mixed Martial Arts Center offers a free women’s self-defense class every Monday morning at their training facility in Gold’s Gym on Harbor Drive. This very valuable service is available free for women of every age and you don’t have to be a member of Gold’s or Triton to participate. Just check in at the front desk.
As always, check the calendar links on my website, www.southbaybyjackie.com for information on these and other events throughout the South Bay.
On this morning’s radio show, we launched a new segment called “South Bay Favorites” and today’s topic was South Bay restaurants. Our guest was Michael Jenkins-Brown of www.southbayfoodies.com. He shared his expert knowledge and experience of our local food scene, so when you get a chance, be sure to check out his website. You can listen to the show at this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/joeterry/2011/11/17/the-south-bay-small-business-hour
Have a great South Bay weekend!
