Fishtival & KCRW Summer Nights
7 PM | FRIDAY, JUNE 13
Join KCRW for a family-friendly oceanic party with Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro! Dance to sets from KCRW DJs Chris Douridas & Dan Wilcox and explore the watery wonders of the aquarium and our local beaches. There’ll be a whole lot of love on the sand as thousands of silvery grunion fish hurl themselves ashore for their strange and fascinating mating ritual. Plus, enjoy food trucks and a bar. Start the summer with a unique party by the beach you won’t want to miss!
Make the most of the party by being a member of KCRW and Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. Save $30 on a joint membership — offer ends June 11th at 12 PM.
