Redondo Beach Pier

This beautiful, free festival celebrates the history and whimsy of the kite. Watch as hundreds take to the sky—you can buy a kite on the pier or bring your own. The fest culminates with a kite-flying contest and group kite-flying session on the sand. There’s also typically a slew of non-kite-related activities taking place on the pier all day, including a hot-dog-on-a-stick-eating contest, a dance performance, face painting and live music.
