Spring has sprung and it’s the perfect time to step outside, enjoy the fresh air and take advantage of the abundance of seasonal activities taking place in Santa Monica!
There’s plenty to do – from farmer’s markets to kite festivals and paddleboarding contests – and here’s the best part: it’s all sober fun!
- Take part in the Annual Kite Festival on April 14 at Santa Monica Pier. Participants receive a free kite and kite makers from across the U.S. create a “gallery in the sky” as they showcase their unique designs.
- Celebrate Earth Day with Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium on April 21. Participants who help with beach cleanup will receive free admission to the aquarium.
- Come together with the Santa Monica community for a day of 5Ks, DJ-powered yoga sessions and guided meditation during Wanderlust 108—The World’s Only Mindful Triathlon on April 28.
- Watch top athletes compete in stand-up paddleboard, prone paddleboard, dory and swim races in the 8th annual Pier Paddleboard Race & Ocean Festival on June 9.
And, of course, there’s plenty of ways to enjoy spring on weekends without any scheduled events. Try one of these ideas:
- Visit your local farmer’s market and stock up on seasonal produce like artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower and fava beans.
- Plan an outdoor picnic and invite friends for a game of Frisbee.
- Take a long hike or stroll on the beach.
- Plant a garden filled with fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Sit outside and meditate or write in a journal.
