The return of the Charlie Saikley Manhattan Beach 6-man, the costumed, crazy and Southern California unique beach volleyball tournament, highlights this weekend’s activities and things to do in the South Bay and Los Angeles.

Actually, “return” of the 6-man isn’t complete accurate although it all but disappeared when it was moved from a Saturday and Sunday to the middle of the week. Now, for 2017, it returns to the weekend, with the second day being on a Saturday.

Details on this and other events are below, including the start of the summertime free concerts on the beach in Hermosa.

This Weekend’s Top Event: The Manhattan Beach 6-Man

Costumes are a big part of the 6-man tradition for men’s and women’s teams.

The one-time wild open beach party event is back on a weekend (sort of anyway). Currently 75 teams are entered. That’s down from the heyday when there were 80 in the Men’s Open field alone and Saturday will not be anywhere near the event’s heyday when some 20,000 people filled the beach, team tents were on both sides of the beach for several blocks and house parties along The Strand were so good people are still talking about them to this day.

It was quite the scene. But hey, even though most of the teams play Friday, it’s still a scene to check out and the entire South Bay is excited again about the 6-man.

Playing again this year is Luke Walton. Yes, the LA Lakers coach. He’s on Team Soho. A few other local NBA players are signed up to play, as well.

The anti-alcohol security will be the same as last year, which means backpack checks and designated entry points, but no barricades on the beach.

Below you’ll see a rundown on what to expect each particular day of 6-man and be sure to click this link for everything you need to know about the 6-man.

Surfest – International Lifeguard Competition

The reason the 6-man exists is because of the International Surf Festival, also known as Surfest. This involves some 1,500 lifeguards from LA County and around the world taking part in various rescue competitions, as well as surfing and bodyboarding championships. To see what’s taking place, click the link below.

Friday’s Top Events

• Manhattan Beach 6-Man. The first day of competition. This is when the recreational teams – formerly the “party teams” – play. Most don’t have a chance of advancing to Saturday’s play but they will be very good at advancing up to Shellback Tavern during, after and – in the case of some players – even during matches.

• Splash Night Fridays, W Hotel Rooftop, Hollywood. This weekly summertime rooftop party is awesome and it continues this Friday.
