El Segundo Weekender Guide (9/7/18 to 9/9/18)

Visit the inflatable course at The Plunge, join the community at the El Segundo Beach Cleanup, enjoy A Taste at the Beach, or see La La Land outdoors - just a few of the events in and around El Segundo this weekend.

As we get back in the school year swing, it’s easy to spend all weekend catching up on lost z’s and finally getting around to that pile of laundry. Chores are a necessary evil, but don’t forget to enjoy your free time too! Whether you’re 5 or 55, the South Bay has endless opportunities to enjoy the weekend.
