OFF THE HOOK Seafood Festival RETURNS to the iconic Santa Monica Pier on Sunday, Oct. 19, to celebrate National Seafood Month, the City of Santa Monica's 150th Anniversary, and to raise funds for Heal the Bay! As if that wasn't enough reason to celebrate, it's also the official closing event for LA Tech Week!


Santa Monica's premier food festival showcases the city's best restaurants and chefs with their favorite underwater ingredients. Attendees will enjoy:


Seafood tastings from 20+ restaurants

Craft beer

Boutique wine tastings

Spirits & cocktails

Live music

Games

Oyster shucking competition

Photo ops

Artistan vendors

And more underwater-inspired fun!

As always, OFF THE HOOK is committed to sustainability. The event is 100% free of single-use plastics and highlights innovation and education around ocean conservation because celebrating the sea means protecting it too. A portion of sales will benefit Heal the Bay to help protect our coastline, restore our waterways, and keep our Santa Monica Bay clean!


Live entertainment will be provided by The Windbreakers, bringing a '70s & '80s Yacht Rock Party to the Pier.


Captain's hats, boat shoes, and ascots are highly encouraged!
