Santa Monica Festival

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/d/2/6/event_118327462.jpegThe 21st annual Santa Monica Festival offers an eclectic mix of live music and dance, food from around the world, DIY art workshops with recycled and repurposed materials, guilt-free shopping featuring earth-friendly artistic wares and local services offered by a variety of City, environmental and local non-profit organizations. The Festival is a celebration with a purpose, highlighting the dynamic connection between the City’s communities, businesses, art, culture and the environment while offering ideas and options for a greener, healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

This sounds like a lot of outdoor fun. And I'm sure we'll get a lot of walking time.
