About this Event
OFF THE HOOK Seafood Festival RETURNS to the iconic Santa Monica Pier on Sunday, Oct. 11, to celebrate National Seafood Month, the 100-year Anniversary of Route 66, AND to raise funds for Heal the Bay!
Santa Monica's premier food festival showcases the city's best restaurants and chefs with their favorite underwater ingredients.
Attendees will enjoy:
- Seafood tastings from 25+ restaurants
- Craft beer
- Boutique wine tastings
- Spirits & cocktail tastings
- Live Yacht Rock Band
- Games
- Oyster shucking & slurping competitions
- Photo ops

As always, OFF THE HOOK is committed to sustainability. The event is 100% free of single-use plastics and highlights innovation and education around ocean conservation because celebrating the sea means protecting it too.
A portion of sales will benefit to help protect our coastline, restore our waterways, and keep our Santa Monica Bay clean!
Live entertainment will be provided by The Windbreakers, bringing their '70s & '80s Yacht Rock Party to the Pier.
