Description
Join us for a special event celebrating the 75th anniversary of The Lighthouse Cafe, an iconic venue that has played a pivotal role in the musical history of Hermosa Beach and the West Coast Jazz movement. We will dive into this and the unique story of how this small 1.34 square mile beach town became a hub for both jazz and punk music, two seemingly opposite styles of music.
The event is proudly co-sponsored by Mic Drop Media, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce, and the Hermosa Beach Museum.
