Redondo Beach Art & Jazz Festival – Free Los Angeles Events

It might be a little early to head out on that summer beach vacation, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad time to hit sunny Redondo Beach. If you’ll be in the Los Angeles area a couple weekends from now, head down to Redondo Beach for the Art & Jazz Festival 2009 at Redondo Beach Pier.

I could probably get away with a short post. After all, it is called “Art & Jazz” festival; you don’t really need me to explain what it’s all about. Then again, this isn’t just any twentieth day of the month. I bet there’s more than one of you out there who has all the time in the world.

So, from the top. The Redondo Beach Art & Jazz Festival brings together a gaggle of local jazz performers and artists, as well as restaurants and crafts vendors for a two-day celebration of music and fun at the famous Redondo Beach Pier. While the smooth sounds of jazz waft through the air, you can stroll the Pier, check out remarkable arts and crafts and sample the tasty treats of several top area restaurants. Participating restaurants include Kincaid’s, an upscale chophouse that comes highly recommended by me, and Old Tony’s, a sort of Redondo Beach landmark known for delicious seafood served right on the Pier.

Of course, the best part is that the Art & Jazz Festival is completely free to visit. Since it takes place on the Pier, there’s no admission charge to watch the bands. They’ll be doing their thing; you can pay attention or not.

The Art & Jazz Festival 2009 takes place from May 2-3 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day. There’s a little bit more to learn at the Redondo Beach Pier Web site.

If you’re traveling in, why not stay where you can walk to the Pier? The Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach Hotel is located within walking-distance of the pier and provides a cozy stay for not too much, considering the market.
