15,879 member party!

This is your opportunity to help us thank the organizers who made this all possible. They arrive early, stay late and show up even when they would rather sleep in. How does one thank the selfless efforts of our glorious organizers you might ask. Well, if you cant attend the event you could always say thanks in the comment section below, but I hear from great authority the best way is to put on a great big smile and tip a glass with them.

This time instead of hiding inside a bar and drinking away all the work we did hiking we are going to carouse around on the Santa Monica beach and drink away all the work we did hiking.

There is no cost, music, food and drunks will be provided, however you are welcome to bring something.

This is the only spot on Santa Monica beach where it's legal to have an open fire.

Parking is available in any of the beach lots. ($12/day) or in the 2nd and 4th St parking structures (generally free the first 2hrs, then hourly)

Just remember you can be ticketed if you take alcohol more than 12 feet from the property.

Should anyone feel the need to smoke anything (bad hikers), please do so in the back.

This is your last chance to join us at this historical Santa Monica beach location. After this party the building will be torn down.
