Manhattan Beach Pier Lighting and Holiday Open House Set for November 18, 6–9 p.m.

MANHATTAN BEACH, Los Angeles County — Manhattan Beach’s annual Pier Lighting and Holiday Open House is scheduled for Wednesday, November 18, 2026, from 6 to 9 p.m. in Downtown Manhattan Beach and around the iconic pier.

The city’s official event listing describes holiday music, shopping and dining, with local merchants expected to remain open through the evening.

Will every store have the same offers?

No. Businesses set their own products, discounts and participation arrangements. The city advertises the wider community celebration, not a guarantee that any individual restaurant or retailer will be open.

What about traffic and parking?

Downtown streets and public parking fill up around special events, but the general event page does not establish a specific detour or road-closure list. Consult official traffic and parking notices closer to the date and do not rely on an invented parking space count.

How to enjoy the event

Visitors can combine a pier walk with downtown shopping and dining while respecting posted beach, alcohol and crowd rules. Accessibility questions should be directed to the city’s recreation team.

The event is a future scheduled city celebration, not a report of a completed tree-lighting or verified crowd turnout.
