About this Event
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!
OFF THE HOOK is Santa Monica's premier food festival showcasing 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 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!
Don't Miss the Boat! 🐟
