In the land of endless 5K events a very special one happens on Saturday morning. Held in honor of Manhattan Beach community member Bill Dunbar, an avid runner, husband and father of three, the 2nd Annual Run/Walk for Bill takes place at 9:00 a.m. at the Manhattan Beach Pier. Benefiting the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, over 400 people participated last year and more are expected this go around.

Saturday evening at the MB Pier, the City of Manhattan Beach and the South Bay 350 Climate Action Group invite you to turn off all non-essential lights in your home and/or business and meet up at 7:30 p.m. for a cool Earth Hour event. Earth Hour was started as a lights-off event in Sydney, Australia in 2007 and since then it has grown to engage more than 7,000 cities and towns worldwide including Times Square, The Kremlin and Red Square in Moscow, the Eiffel Tower, the Tower of Pisa, Buckingham Palace and the Vegas Strip. There will be live music, giveaways and each participant will receive an LED candle to help light the Pier at 8:30 when the lights go off in honor of Earth Hour. Find the whole scoop here.
On Sunday afternoon, the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center hosts LUNAFEST, a traveling film festival of award-winning funny, intelligent and thought-provoking short films by, for and about women. Presented by Soroptimist International of Manhattan Beach, the festival also functions as a fundraiser for nonprofits in the communities it travels to, as well as for their main beneficiary, the Breast Cancer Fund (100 percent of all net proceeds are donated to charity). You'll find info on how to get tickets and more here.
