About
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.
