We’re feeling nostalgic for crowded concerts, foodie festivals, and just generally being surrounded by friends and family. But don’t despair. Along with new batches of KYLA, big ideas are brewing, and we can’t wait till we can see you again in real life.
The popular FREE community event returns to the sands of the quintessential Southern California beach town over two weekends in August, and for the first time ever, is expanding to both Saturday and Sunday (Aug. 17/18 and Aug. 24/25), each offering a jam-packed lineup of music, comedy, movies on the beach and other family-friendly experiences.
Saturday, August 24’s headliner is Los Angeles’ The White Buffalo (the stage name of musician and singer/songwriter Jake Smith) who has performed at numerous music festivals around the world, including Bonnaroo, as well as on shows with the likes of Jack Johnson, Ziggy Marley, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, among many others. Over the years, his music has been featured on Sons Of Anarchy, NPR and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Comedy favorite Steve Byrne (“Sullivan & Son”, Comedy Central, Chappelle’s Show) will also perform standup, along with additional music from instrumental alternative surf group Pounded By The Surf and LA’s Trapdoor Social. The evening comes to a close with a surfside showing of another classic movie via Hermosa Beach Friends of the Parks, as voted on by Hermosa Beach locals.
Music will kick off at 5:00 pm each day.
Set times and additional programming times will be announced 2 weeks prior to the first weekend of events.
