The Hermosa Beach Chamber Foundation and City of Hermosa Beach will present the 6th Annual Hermosa for the Holidays on November 21–22, 2026, in downtown Hermosa Beach and on Pier Plaza. With Skechers as title sponsor and Ferris wheel sponsor, the weekend pairs holiday shopping and live music with a Sunday tradition: Santa arriving on a Hermosa Beach fire truck to light the city’s holiday tree.
Visitors can browse Saturday’s pop-up market for gifts from local artisans, sip and shop at participating businesses both days and see how downtown shops deck out their windows for the holiday decorating competition. Local artists will play in front of Java Man Cafe, and Pier Plaza will host live music both days, including Jeremy Buck’s Rock for Tots Show, now in its 20th year.
