OFF THE HOOK Santa Monica Seafood Festival Returns to the Santa Monica Pier on Sunday, October 19th, 2025

The 7th Annual OFF THE HOOK Santa Monica Seafood Festival is making a splash on the iconic Santa Monica Pier on Sunday, October 19th in celebration of the City’s 150th Anniversary! This beloved, ocean-inspired tasting event brings together the city’s top chefs and restaurants to showcase their favorite underwater ingredients. Attendees will enjoy seafood tastings, beer gardens, wine tastings, live music, oyster shucking and eating competitions, games, and more fun in the sun with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop.

Best of all, OFF THE HOOK is 100% free of single-use plastics and benefits Heal the Bay in their efforts to preserve our local ocean and beaches for future generations, particularly in the wake of the recent wildfires.
