Fiesta Hermosa and Labor Day 2009 in the South Bay
Check out the South Bay Events' full listing of what's going on in Hermosa Beach for Fiesta Hermosa on Labor Day Weekend: September 5-7, 2009!
Fiesta Hermosa 2009 in Hermosa Beach
There are few places in the world that send off the summer better than Hermosa Beach, California! The long Labor Day Weekend hits September 5-7, 2009. The South Bay's 3-day party is centered in Hermosa Beach, and the city swells with thousands of extra people. Running daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., the summer vibe officially comes to a head now in the South Bay. This is the 37th Annual Fiesta Hermosa, known as Southern California's largest Arts & Crafts Festival with over 270 vendors last year. Of course, many people bypass the booths on Hermosa Avenue and head straight to the Beer & Wine Garden! The proceeds all go to charity, so in case you overdo it there will be a silver lining. There are two stages with quality bands playing live music throughout the weekend- one at the foot of Hermosa Pier and another in the Beer & Wine Garden. The crowd is always fired up, and dancing is highly encouraged.
The Food Court, just south of the Hermosa Pier, is another of the major higlights of Fiesta Hermosa. Make sure to try the famous Kennel Corn at least once during the weekend.
