While there is always plenty to do for kids and families in and around the South Bay on weekends, this weekend is pretty packed. Saturday, especially, is loaded with fun stuff and a good place to start may be the free cheerleading class by Team Self-Esteem at the Hermosa Beach Community Center on Pier Avenue. Open to girls and boys ages 5-12, the event is an hour long program designed to introduce concepts such as respect, building self-esteem and teamwork through fun, games and cheerleading techniques.
If you head north to Dockweiler Beach Saturday morning, you'll find two things to do for free with the family. The first is a 9 a.m. shore fishing class where even the poles and bait are gratis. Anglers typically catch surf perch, croaker, corbina, halibut and leopard shark. Then, at 10 a.m., there is a
"Make It and Take It" craft class where kids 12 and under can sit by the waves and learn about different crafts, make a project and take it home.
Saturday evening offers a free concert at the Journey of Faith in Manhattan Beach by Watoto Children's Choir entitled Beautiful Africa: A New Generation. An uplifting program of vibrant images, original music, dance routines, stories of transformation and exciting audiovisual effects and music videos, this will probably be the most spiritual, soul enriching event anywhere in the area this weekend. Please go here to read more about this amazing, world-traveling group that uses positivity and hope to bring attention to the plight of women and children in Uganda.
Finally, Sunday is the monthly Torrance Antique Street Faire in Downtown Torrance. If you have never been, it is a really good time. There are over 200 sellers set up in the streets with antiques, collectibles, vintage clothing, furniture, jewelry, plants, tools, toys, home decor, etc., and all kinds of great bargains. This is also free, of course, and you'll find plenty of great food vendors, DJs and live music, antiques appraisers and a rescue pet adoption in the park nearby. Here is their official link.
