EVERY SUNDAY- Third Street Promenade
Salsa the night away with SALSA FAMILIA, the Westside’s largest meet-up for salsa lovers on Third Street Promenade Downtown Santa Monica, every Sunday night starting at 6 pm. Dancers of all levels are invited! Come alone, bring the family or a date. Arrive early!
We are a casual and loosely structured group. We model ourselves after the street salsa gatherings you would find in places like Cuba, Puerto Rico, and New York. Not only do we have Salseras and Salseros but entire families, friends, and others who are interested in music, dance, and photography that gather to listen, spectate and talk. In addition to Salsa, there are Tango and Swing Dance Groups on the 3rd Street Promenade. Please feel free to visit and dance with them. The 3rd Street Promenade and nearby Santa Monica Place have restaurants, theaters, and street entertainment.
The Third Street Promenade is a pedestrian mall esplanade, shopping, dining and entertainment complex in the downtown area of Santa Monica, California which originally opened as the Santa Monica Mall on November 8, 1965. The 3rd Street Promenade consists of three open-air, car-free blocks with everything from fresh farmers-market produce to designer fashions.
Downtown Santa Monica is equal parts shopping haven and street-performer stage. Just east of the Pier, the 3rd Street Promenade consists of three open-air, car-free blocks that are anchored by upscale Santa Monica Place, home to more than 80 retailers. With everything from fresh farmers market produce to designer fashions, it’s a shopper’s nirvana. Likewise, foodies rejoice in the numerous restaurants and bars, featuring locally sourced ingredients and craft cocktails. There’s excitement around every corner as street performers, tourists, locals, diners, movie goers, and more flock to the area. Additionally, it’s the terminus of the Metro Expo Line, which ferries riders by light rail between Santa Monica and Downtown Los Angeles.
