Taste of Downtown With KCRW Summer Nights

Taste of Downtown, now in its 17th year, is a signature culinary and cultural celebration presented by the DTLB Alliance, bringing together top local restaurants, live music and DJs, and a vibrant street-festival atmosphere in the heart of Downtown Long Beach. Guests can enjoy bite-size food samples alongside beer, wine, and craft cocktails from the area’s talented community of chefs, brewers, and mixologists, as well as interactive activities and experiences that showcase the unique character and creativity of Downtown Long Beach—all coming together for an unforgettable experience of flavor, culture, and community.

KCRW Summer Nights heads to Pine & Promenade in Downtown Long Beach for a free, all-ages evening of music, food, and community with the Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DTLB Alliance). Dance into the evening with sets from KCRW DJs Nassir Nassirzadeh & Raul Campos as the sun goes down and the dance floor heats up.
