Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair Parade

Saturday 10 a.m.

The Parade launches the weekend celebration. It features the Mayor in a car, City Council member, Fair board members, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts with color guard and banners and ends with Mira Costa Marching Band and Drill Teams, then  Manhattan Beach Middle School Chorus singing the National Anthem.

Two days of family fun include not just a line up of awesome bands, local dance groups performing on stage and winners of the band contest, but contests you'll find at old-fashioned fairs such as diaper derby, 3-legged race, sack race, hula hoop contest, and water balloon toss. The Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair offers a little bit of country mixed with the cool beach vibe and urban sophistication in vendor shopping and foods you can buy.
