“Let’s hang out at the Pier” is something Santa Monica locals probably say next to never, but this monthly series is trying to change that. Every third Thursday you’ll find everything from performances to storytelling to a classic car show on the Santa Monica Pier, all free to attend.
Every music festival and major concert announcement has us sweating as we think about the dent it’ll put in our bank account. But don’t worry, there are thankfully quite a few free things to do this April (in addition to the usual free museum days and free attractions, of course) to balance out all of that big spending. From a book fest to a puppet performance, these are the best ways to make the most of your month without breaking into your wallet.
