Night Out at 3^rd Street Promenade
Wednesday, June 20
Buses will be available, starting at 6:00pm and running every 15-20 minutes, to take you to and from the 3rd Street Promenade area. This sprawling 3-block long outdoor mall is a great place to get into the local scene and “feel” Santa Monica. Here you will see the funky and sophisticated side-by-side. Great little eating places, sidewalk musicians, and “stall” shops share this space with designer studios, art galleries, comedy clubs and wonderful places to just browse. This is an eclectic mix of shops, entertainment and people, as diverse as Santa Monica itself. The end of the Promenade features Santa Monica Place, an indoor mall with two major department stores and 158 shops and eateries. If you can’t find it in Santa Monica, it probably doesn’t exist!
