SUMMARY:Fiesta Hermosa
DESCRIPTION:For 53 years\, Fiesta has been filling Hermosa’s streets with art\, music\, and fun. Fiesta de las Artes\, as it was originally named\, celebrated artisan culture and welcomed visitors from all around to the beach to shop and enjoy the art. For more than a decade\, Fiesta has been known as Southern California’s largest beachside arts and craft festival. But we in Hermosa like to think of Fiesta simply as a treasured tradition.
