About Santa Monica Pier

The Santa Monica Pier is a historic landmark that doubles as a premier event venue. On the pier, the Looff Hippodrome provides an intimate indoor space with a capacity of up to 330 guests, while the adjacent deck can accommodate up to 500. The venue is ideal for private rentals, performances, and unique celebrations against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. Since seating is configured for each event, there is no fixed seating chart—your event space adapts to your needs, with setup guided by our team to maximize sightlines and acoustics.

Whether you’re hosting a concert, private party, or corporate gathering, Santa Monica Pier offers an unforgettable setting with iconic views, easy accessibility, and a range of nearby amenities. We’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby stays and dining to help you plan a seamless experience.

Parking options include City and Pier lots such as Lot 1 North under the Pier and the Civic Center Garage. Some lots offer the first 90 minutes free, with event-night rates that may apply. The venue is accessible via Los Angeles Metro’s Expo Line; alight at Downtown Santa Monica Station and enjoy roughly a 10-minute walk to the Pier. Nearby lodging includes Shutters on the Beach (1 Pico Blvd), Shore Hotel near downtown Santa Monica, and Hotel Casa del Mar (1910 Ocean Way), all excellent options for out-of-town guests. For dining, consider affiliate partner recommendations to secure reliable, convenient meals before or after events. Notable annual events include Twilight on the Pier concerts and Fourth of July celebrations with Ferris wheel light displays, along with Local’s Night and other public programming that celebrate the Pier’s unique character.
