Enjoy two miles of car-free streets filled with roaming musicians, hands-on activities and an assortment of participatory classes! All are invited to this free City celebration of a more people-powered and sustainable Santa Monica. 

This year’s COAST invites everyone to handmake or decorate people-powered devices and use them at the event. It will be a pageant of attendees’ creativity, showcasing their newly-decorated walking shoes, bicycles, rollerblades, strollers, and inventions. 

Free artist-led workshops are scheduled for late August and September providing inspiration and materials to create and decorate costumes, vehicles, walking accessories, or devices. People are also welcome to decorate on their own or collaborate with friends, family, and neighbors to create a float or moving installation to display the day of the event. Attendees can bring, wear or ride their creations to Main Street, Ocean Avenue and the Colorado Esplanade on event day, where there will be opportunities to win prizes for creativity and innovation. 

EVENT DAY & TIME: Sunday, September 15, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

WHERE: The event will be held on more than two miles of car-free streets in and around Downtown Santa Monica, including Ocean Ave. from Wilshire Blvd. to Colorado Ave., Colorado Esplanade from 5th St. to and including the Pier, and Main St. from Colorado Ave. to Pier Ave.
