What to Know
- The Los Angeles Wine & Food Festival, a new food festival, debuts at Santa Monica Pier March 1-3, 2024
- Tickets will be available in January
- The chef-filled festivity is popping up during the art-strong Frieze Week
The foods of the Santa Monica Pier may involve A) something on a stick and/or B) something doused in powdered sugar and/or C) something sweet, fried, and decadent.
But the splendiferous setting — and splendiferous, it truly is, thanks to its ocean-big vistas, sunset-soft hues, and old-school playland vibes — makes it the ideal place for a palate-pleasing party, one that involves different dining experiences.
Such an experience will make its late-winter debut during Frieze Week Los Angeles, the art-centered celebration that pops up across the city.
