The Santa Monica Pier will celebrate 50 years since the emergence of the legendary Dogtown/Z-Boys era and its enduring influence on skateboarding and Southern California culture with a special edition of Locals’ Night on Thursday, Oct. 15, from 3:30–10 p.m.
Presented by Pacific Park, the free, all-ages celebration will feature a 7:30 p.m. drive-in screening of “Dogtown and Z-Boys,” the acclaimed documentary chronicling the pioneering Zephyr skateboard team, along with a live vinyl DJ set by legendary skateboarder and original Z-Boy Tony Alva, a skate ramp, live music by Cycotic Youth, Cheer performances from St. Monica and SAMOHI a classic car meet, DJ, Books &amp; Cookies Musical Storytime and more.
