This Thursday, April 18, 2024, the Santa Monica Pier turned up the heat with the Local's Night Car Show, turning the iconic spot into a buzzing hive of classic car mania. As part of the pier's hype Locals Night series, this event was tailor-made by and for Santa Monicans, dishing out a killer mix of activities that had everyone from toddlers to grandparents vibing.

The night was all about horsepower and retro vibes with a sick lineup of classic cars, hot rods, and other eye-catching rides. From shiny vintage Mustangs to sleek Corvettes, the pier was flooded with automotive legends, each car telling its own tale of glory and gasoline. Owners were all smiles, basking in the glow of admiration from the crowd, adding to the electric atmosphere.

As a cornerstone of the Pier's monthly Locals Night bash, the car show is here to stoke the community spirit and showcase the pier as the ultimate chill spot for residents to soak in the Santa Monica soul. The scene tonight? A full-on celebration with local DJs, a silent disco, live bands, and art pop-ups that pulled a massive crowd.

Tonight's turnout didn't just showcase some stunning rides; it proved once again that Santa Monica Pier is a legend in its own right, with each event more banging than the last. With the buzz for the next shindig already through the roof, Santa Monica's in for another epic evening soon. Stay tuned!
