Historic Downtown San Pedro is just steps away from the waterfront and features a collage of architecture, shopping, dining, art, entertainment and browsing. With its small town atmosphere and many family-owned businesses, Historic Downtown San Pedro reminds many of the neighborhood of their youth.

A wonderful time to experience Historic Down Town San Pedro is on every Friday of the month when the Local Harvest Farmers’ Market is open between 9:00 am until 2:00 pm. Every Friday is unique at this event with local musicians performing while you shop for Certified California Grown farm fresh fruits, vegetables, plants and flowers. You can also enjoy fresh hot fare from one of our many vendors, gourmet specialty foods and treats along with shopping for that special something from one of the arts & crafts vendors.

Riviera Village in Redondo Beach is happy to introduce Riviera Village First Fridays on the first Friday of each month! Merchants and art galleries will stay open until 8pm and the energy will be fueled by live music. The location of the performances will vary each month. Check out the Riviera Village Website for performance and event news updates.

Every Tuesday, more than 45 food vendors line the street next to Metlox Plaza behind the Shade Hotel in downtown Manhattan Beach for the weekly farmers market 11am to 5pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day and 11am to 4pm in other months. Choose from fresh, locally-grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants. Enjoy a variety of artisan hot and prepared foods.

The Downtown Manhattan Beach Business Association is responsible for bringing the farmers market to Manhattan Beach every Tuesday. Their association consists of 200 + businesses that offer unique shopping, dining and personal professional services. They all work together to support & promote programs in the community associated with education, health and the environment. That is why 6 years ago, the Manhattan Beach Farmers Market was brought into downtown each week to offer healthy eating choices from local farms and vendors. Exhibitors each week will educate you on anything from nutrition, to physical therapy, to helping the environment to name a few.

There is parking below Metlox Plaza.

Redondo Beach Farmers Market is located in front of Veterans Park and is open every Thursday from 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
