Best Marina Del Rey Activities for a Summer by the Water
1. Catch the Weekend Lineup at the Fisherman’s Village Summer Music Series
Turn the volume up on your weekend with the Summer Music Series at Fisherman’s Village in Marina del Rey. Sing along and let the afternoon roll from house and dance sets to jazz, rock, blues, and acoustic favorites by the harbor. With restaurants, shops, and waterfront views all in one place, it’s easy to stop by, stay awhile, and go with the flow. Last year, the series ran from May through September, so keep an eye on its official Instagram. Once this season’s lineup drops, you’ll want to be ready.
2. Shop Fresh Finds at the Marina del Rey Farmers’ Market
Bring a little more flavor to your weekend at the Marina del Rey Farmers’ Market. Pick up seasonal fruit, market-fresh veggies, flowers for the table, and something sweet for the ride home or your next get-together. Open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 14101 Panay Way, rain or shine, this year-round market makes it easy to start the day with great food and even better plans. Our tip? Go for the big tote on this one.
3. Watch the Fourth of July Fireworks Light up the Harbor
Save room on your holiday schedule for a little extra sparkle. Make a night of it by the harbor and watch the sky light up as the Fourth of July Fireworks Show casts color across the coastline. With viewing spots like Burton Chace Park and Fisherman’s Village, this is one of those events in Marina del Rey that feels festive from start to finish. Good views, bright skies, and a festive crowd? This is how you end the Fourth on a high note.
4. Plan a Night Out at the Marina Del Rey Summer Concert Series
A summer night with music by the water? Say no more. Set aside an evening for the Marina del Rey Summer Concert Series and settle in at Burton Chace Park for outdoor performances that pair waterfront views with pop favorites and symphony nights. As the sky shifts from golden hour to starlight, this one gives your weekend a pretty great soundtrack. The 2026 lineup is still on the way, so stay tuned for the latest updates.
