The Santa Monica Pier will kick off the holiday season with its monthly Locals’ Night on Thursday, Nov. 20 featuring a Winter Art Mart, live DJ sets, children’s story time and a Thanksgiving food drive, organizers announced.

The free event runs from 3:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Local artists and makers will sell handcrafted goods and holiday gifts at the Winter Art Mart. From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Los Angeles DJs Xica Soul, Jamma-Dee, Tavish DJ and Aiden Ramos will perform on the Pier deck.

“Locals’ Night continues to shine as one of the Pier’s most meaningful traditions—an evening designed by and for the Santa Monica community,” said Jim Harris, executive director and historian of the Santa Monica Pier.

Free tickets are required and can be reserved on Eventbrite.
