What’s the parking situation?
Parking in Hermosa Beach in the summer is always a challenge. We recommend making a plan before you visit. Visit our parking page for guidance.

What food is included in Fiesta?
We have a divine selection of local and festival vendors selling food in the Food Fair (adjacent to the Garden) and at the Carnival on Upper Pier Ave.
Remember, Hermosa has dozens of dining options in the downtown area and we encourage guests to visit their favorite local destinations in Hermosa.

Are there any age restrictions for Fiesta?
Adults 21+ ONLY are permitted in The Garden. All other areas of Hermosa are open to all ages!
What is the dress code?
Dress code? In Hermosa? That’s silly. Hermosa is an inclusive and inviting environment. With that said, we kindly ask you to be appropriate in our family-friendly environment.
Are dogs allowed in Fiesta?
Yes, dogs are allowed to wander all areas of Fiesta, especially service animals. However, we HIGHLY discourage dogs from entering the Garden. It will be a very crowded environment and not suitable for your furry friends. While allowed, it's recommended not to bring them.
Is there a beer garden?
Yes! The Beer Garden, as we knew it, is now simply The Garden. This is because we now serve brews, wine, and spirits.

Also, we will host an Acoustic Stage near the pier head (adjacent to the Vista patio).
