The Skechers Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks Festival is held at the Pier every year in December. This year's Fireworks Festival will take place on Sunday, December 10, 2023.

Remember to bring blankets, beach chairs, and picnic dinner to pick a spot for the spectacular show!

The Skechers Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks are expected to go forward, rain or shine, on Sunday. For more information on the schedule of events, please visit the Holiday Fireworks website or email Pete Moffett Productions.  

Please note: Blankets will be allowed on Manhattan Beach Boulevard sometime between 2:30 PM and 4:30 PM AFTER public safety determines that it is safe to enter the streets. Unaccompanied blankets will be removed. For full details, please visit the Skechers Manhattan Beach Fireworks website.

Please use the beach for seating, as there will be limited seating on Manhattan Beach Boulevard. Additionally, this event draws a very large crowd, which requires closing streets and rerouting traffic in and around the Downtown area. For more information on the street closures, please see below.
