SANTA Monica Pub Crawl, Hermosa Beach 12 Bars Of Christmas, Boat Parades & The Spectacular Manhattan Beach Fireworks

12 Bars of Christmas Hermosa Beach, CA
The 12 Bars of Christmas is a Hermosa Beach holiday highlight.

Welcome to the PubClub.com South Bay Party Report – Big Holiday Events Weekend Edition!

The PubClub.com South Bay Party Report is brought to you by Kona Brewing Company, the ideal beers to have with you for Kami’s Thursday party, the Manhattan Beach fireworks and to drink at bars that serve Kona during the 12 Bars of Christmas!

Okay everyone, brace yourself, it’s the wild weekend of how-are-we-going-to-survive-all-this series of holiday events in the South Bay!? Plus there’s other fun events happening in L.A., from Santa Moncia to Newport Beach this holiday season. Here’s the scoop on each one of them!

THURSDAY – KAMI’S HOLIDAY HOUSE PARTY

Those of you who know of this party know the drill and location. It’s Thursday night! She does have booze and light food but I feel it’s always good to take your own. One good reason to always take your own to house and private parties is that you get to drink what you like – like Kona beers!

Thursday is also the Holiday Wine Tasting Soiree at Uncorked Hermosa on Upper Pier Ave. It goes from 6-9:30 p.m.

THURSDAY– JIM MORRISON’S BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH A DOORS COVER BAND

Thursday is Jim Morrison’s birthdate – he would have been 73 this year – and Venice Beach Bar LIVE in Venice is celebrating by having an “All Day, All Doors” event featuring a top Doors cover band, Peace Frog. Doors open at 4:20, Peace Frog plays at 8 and there’s no cover.

The organizers enjoy the 12 Bars Of Christmas in Hermosa Beach.

Bring a toy for charity, which will be collected the at the first two bars. The  place and time is Mickey McColgans at 6. You know the drill – get their, get your lanyard for drink specials and dress in holiday attire. The pub crawl goes to bars on and around Pier Plaza. Here’s the complete list of the bars and details:

If you want to mix in a little yoga with your holiday partying, then Beach Cities Yoga is having a Winter Wonderland Glow Flow. It’s glow-in-the-dark yoga with a DJ. Wear your whitest and brightest (neon) attire. Snacks & wine included. $30 for non-members  $15 for Beach Cities Yoga members

For the month of December, buy a 30-day-for-$30 Intro special and pay only $15 for this event.

SATURDAY – MARINA DEL REY & KING HARBOR BOAT PARADES

The King Harbor Boat Parade is Saturday. Hosted by King Harbor Yacht Club, it’s about 30 boats going back and forth along the channel. It goes from 5:30=9:30 and here’s a link to PubClub.com’s recommended viewing locations. And fun bars to go to before, during and after the parade!

• King Harbor Boat Parade Bars & Recommended Viewing Locations

If you’re feeling adventurous – and this is something PubClub.com is considering: the Marina del Rey boat parade is the same nite. Take the Kona beer beach cruiser up to MDR – it starts at 5:55 with a brief fireworks show – then pedal back to catch the end of the King Harbor parade. It’s about an hour ride, all along the beach, of course!

Also Saturday is the 8th Annual Red and White Gala at American Junkie. This is Toy Drive for Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Bring unwrapped toys or gift cards. This will serve as your cover. Starts at 8.

SUNDAY – THE SPECTACULAR MANHATTAN BEACH FIREWORKS

Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks
There’s a lot to be happy about during the Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks.

All these previous events – as fun as they are, of course – provide the perfect buildup to the biggest event of this season, the Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks. The show, set to music, is simply spectacular.

Tens of thousands of people are sitting on beach chairs and blankets on Manhattan Beach Blvd., every house on The Strand has a house party, people are lined up on The Strand and are on the beach and you have to squeeze into the bars like Shellback Tavern at just the right time, or wait in a big line. It is THE highlight holiday event in the Beach Cities.

Joe’s Band plays at 6 with the fireworks starting at 7. Here’s the full schedule.

• Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks 2016 Schedule & Viewing Spots

If you’re looking for something sort-of festive to get you in the mood earlier in the day, the Holiday Concert and Santa on the Pier is in Redondo Beach from 2-4. It must be noted this is not a wild party event, but if you want to pre-party for the fireworks with a stop in a bar or two (or take a concealed cocktail but be discreet of course) with some holiday music it can be worth your time.

LOS ANGELES EVENTS – HOLIDAY BOAT PARADES & A SANTA PUB CRAWL

Also that day just to the south is the Marina del Rey holiday boat parade.It starts with a brief fireworks show at 5:55 and goes until 9 p.m.

There’s also the Parade of 1,000 Lights holiday boat parade along Shoreline Village in Long Beach. It runs from 5:30-8:30 and has the Queen Mary as a scenic backdrop.

Both are a good warmup to the biggest holiday boat parade the following week in Newport Beach. That is a multi-day event that officials say 1 million people attend. Its dates are Dec. 14-18.
