About this event
The OFF THE HOOK Santa Monica Seafood Festival lands on the Santa Monica Pier on Sunday, October 11, 2026, starting at 4:00 PM, with the address listed as 200 Santa Monica Pier. The lineup leans local seafood tastings alongside craft drinks, yacht rock, oyster competitions and VIP experiences, all benefiting Heal the Bay. Because it begins in the late afternoon and runs into the evening, foot traffic on and around the pier should build through dinner hours, which favors a truck positioned near the pier approaches where attendees arrive and depart rather than deep inside the tasting footprint. Worth noting that guests inside are already sampling food, so dishes that contrast with seafood, or late-night sweets and coffee for the walk back, are the safer bet.
Vendor Tip
