What better way to spend the remaining days of summer than at the beach, soaking up the southern California sun? And with all the fantastic events coming to Marina del Ray in the next few weeks, there is no better time to head to the shore!

     This month, Marina del Rey will be hosting “Beach Eats,” a weekly event that invites the best food trucks around to the beach! Each Thursday night through September 28th, the coolest food trucks in Orange County gather at Mother’s Beach from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. Try some new food and watch the sunset! Additionally, August signals the return of Marina del Rey’s Weekend Concerts at Fisherman’s Village. Every Saturday and Sunday enjoy fantastic music and fabulous views, all for free!

     Don’t let these last few weeks of summer pass by without visiting California’s world-famous beaches one more time!

All of Marina del Rey is located within a fifteen-minute drive of the Casa de Marina Apartments in Los Angeles, CA.

     Los Angeles County has a variety of fun summer events, but searching for the perfect, family-friendly event to attend can be challenging and time-consuming. Allow us to help! Why not take the family down to Pershing Square for a free movie on an upcoming Friday night?

     Pershing Square is located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles and is one of the coolest outdoor venues in town! What better place to see a movie? The movies begin at sundown, so bring dinner and a blanket and enjoy a great night under the stars. Alternatively, stop by nearby dining like local favorite Guatemala Restaurant before the show! With a variety of films like World War Z and The Mortal Instruments, and showings through late August, there is sure to be a Friday Night Flick that works for you!

     Why spend over fifty dollars taking the whole family out to the movies just to sit in a crowded theater, when you can see a free movie under the stars? More information about the Friday Night Flicks can be found at www.laparks.org. Pershing Square is located at 532 S Olive St, Los Angeles, CA 90013, just a twenty-minute drive from the Casa de Marina Apartments.
