Locals’ Night: 50 Years of Dogtown

See official site

Official site
FreeSkate CultureOutdoor Film

A free pier celebration of Dogtown culture with Tony Alva, live bands, skating and an outdoor documentary screening.

Few Thursday events connect so naturally to their location: Dogtown’s skate history is celebrated beside the neighborhood where it began. Tony Alva’s vinyl set, a skate ramp, live music, salsa lessons, classic cars and Dogtown and Z-Boys make this a broad, free Westside gathering rather than a routine screening.

What to expect

Come to Santa Monica Pier from 3:30 PM for an afternoon and evening of music, skating, vendors and community activities. Reserve the appropriate Eventbrite ticket for a chair area, vehicle space or skate-ramp access, and plan to remain through the film.

Good to know

  • The listed festivities begin at 3:30 PM.
  • The event is described as free.
  • An advance Eventbrite RSVP is encouraged.
  • Skate-ramp use requires registration and a signed waiver.

Going? Keep it.
