This Weekend in Long Beach

The biggest First Friday of the year will be held April 5, featuring the popular Long Beach County Fair.

Think fair food, beer, arcade games, Cambodian New Year celebration, live music, dancing, art, entertainment, shopping, farmers produce contest, and more.

Bring your family and friends out to “Celebrate A Culture of Peace and Unity” with the largest Cambodian Community in the U.S. at the 16th Annual Cambodia Town Parade and Culture in Long Beach. Enjoy food, booths, and entertainment at the festival this year. The theme highlights efforts to foster love, unity, and peace while advocating against racism and discrimination, including anti-Asian hate.

The Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DLBA) is pleased to announce the return of the quarterly Downtown Art Walk. Join us on Saturday, April 13, for an electrifying fusion of art, music, and entertainment that promises to ignite your senses. Locations will include Studio One Eleven, the former Acres of Books building at Omni East Village, LBMA Downtown, and more.

Drawing approximately 190,000 fans, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is a 3-day, 2-night festival where worldclass racing takes to the streets of Downtown Long Beach. You’ll find Indy 500 race cars, top sports cars, Formula Drift and SUPER trucks.

When you’re not captivated by the pedal-to-the-metal, need-for-speed, heart-pumping racing, there’s plenty to do off the beaten track. Like a Lifestyle Expo, Family Fun Zone, food trucks, concerts, car show featuring Ferraris, Porsches, Lotus and more. You can even score an autograph from the racers themselves at the Driver Autograph Session.

Set sail for high-stakes competition at the Congressional Cup, April 24-28! The world's best match racing skippers battle for glory in Long Beach.

Since 1965 the world’s top ranked skippers have come here to compete for the esteemed Congressional Cup and the Crimson Blazer, which is yacht racing’s equivalent to the Masters Tournament Green Jacket: a symbol of victory in one of the most prestigious yacht racing events in the world, and a gateway to the America’s Cup.

Watch for free from the Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier or follow the action online.

About 100 large trucks, tractors, military, public safety, and construction vehicles are expected to be on display to the general public to explore from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Kids who are registered in advance will receive a wristband at check-in allowing them to sit in the driver's seat of the vehicles. This free community event is organized by Justin Rudd's Community Action Team.
