Biking to the Music: Thursday Nights at the Santa Monica Pier

Santa Monica Pier

It somehow completely slipped my mind that there are free concerts at the Santa Monica Pier every Thursday in the summer. Last Thursday, I was pleasantly surprised as I rolled back along the bike path from Malibu and straight into the melodic sounds floating in the air. If I hadn’t already been late, I would have stopped and enjoyed the great atmosphere. Lots of people had picnic baskets and blankets, and it looked like they were having a ton of fun.

I noticed that they have a free bike valet right next to the bike path by the Santa Monica Pier, so I will definitely be taking advantage of that for the final concert on August 28th, “An Evening with Toots & The Maytals.” With any luck, I’ll also make this week’s show, Peter & Gordon and Gerry & The Pacemakers. I love listening to the oldies but goodies at the beach! I am just sorry that I forgot about the concert series until now!
