Summer is finally here! No more homework or school lunches to pack, just long sunny days and plenty of hours to fill with activities. Luckily, there are so many exciting things to do in the South Bay and around Los Angeles this month. This post is sponsored by South Bay Credit Union.

Cruzin’ the Lagoon is back at the Redondo Beach Marina, and it runs every Friday from May 22 through September 11, 2026. Whether you’re rolling in behind the wheel of a classic cruiser or just showing up to soak in the scene, this laid-back weekly car show is one of the best free things happening in the South Bay all summer long. No trophies, no raffles, no pressure.

Here are nine podcasts to listen to all December long—and maybe even a little after the holidays, if you’re still craving that holiday spirit.
