Let’s be real: we’re so lucky to live in Long Beach. This city has a way of being gorgeous basically all year. But there is something about the first official weekend of spring that hits different. The days are longer, the breeze off the water is chef’s kiss, and the city collectively remembers that outside is, in fact, a place we can be.
This Saturday, March 21st, is the spring equinox — the actual, astronomical first day of spring. And if you need a sign to get outside and go touch some grass (or concrete, or a dance floor, or a yoga mat on a hill), here it is. This weekend in Long Beach is stacked. Here are five events worth leaving the house for.
1. KASSO Fest Skate & Sound
Dates: Saturday & Sunday, March 21–22, 2026
Location: Old City Hall Plaza, 333 W. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802
Times: All day (check schedule at link below)
Tickets: kasso.ticketspice.com/kasso-lb
Look, if you live in Long Beach and you miss this, we can’t be friends. KASSO is a global skate movement that launched in Japan in 2024 and exploded across Asia — and this weekend it’s making its U.S. debut right here on our waterfront. Not LA. Not New York. Long Beach.
The lineup is stacked: over 30 pro skaters including Leo Romero, Greyson Fletcher, Dashawn Jordan, Tom Schaar, and Jamie Foy shredding a custom obstacle course built out at the old City Hall site. And then there’s the music — LaRussell headlines Saturday night and EARTHGANG closes it out Sunday. The whole thing streams live on Red Bull TV if you somehow can’t make it, but why wouldn’t you?
This is a once-in-a-city moment. Free to watch, ticketed for full access. Go.
2. Khmer Town Night Market
Date: Saturday, March 21, 2026
Location: Anaheim St. & Freeman Ave., Long Beach (F&M Bank parking lot)
Time: Noon – 8:00 PM
Admission: FREE
Free. Outdoors. Cambodia Town. On the first day of spring. This is the content, people.
The Khmer Town Night Market is a beloved recurring celebration of Long Beach’s Cambodian community — one of the largest outside of Cambodia itself, in case you needed a reminder of how culturally rich this city is. Expect incredible food, local vendors, live entertainment, and the kind of genuine community energy that no amount of aesthetic Instagram staging can manufacture.
It runs all afternoon into the evening, it’s completely free, and it’s one of those quintessentially Long Beach experiences that we are very lucky to have in our backyard. Bring your whole family. Bring your appetite. Bring a tote bag because you will absolutely buy something.
3. Morning Yoga + Urban Hike + Sound Bath at Signal Hill
Date: Sunday, March 22, 2026
Location: meet at the corner of Obispo and Hill St. in Signal Hill
Time: 10am – 1pm
Tickets: Eventbrite
Okay, wellness girlie moment. What better way to ring in the spring equinox than starting the day with yoga at the top of Signal Hill, followed by a hike, followed by a sound bath? The answer is: there isn’t one.
Signal Hill has some of the best views in the entire city — on a clear spring morning you can see the mountains, the ocean, and basically all of Long Beach spread out beneath you like you personally own it. This event is the move if your nervous system has been absolutely wrecked lately (and whose hasn’t been?) and you want to hit reset in the most beautiful way possible.
Grab your mat, your water bottle, and your most unbothered energy. This Saturday is literally the day the earth tilts back toward the sun. Celebrate accordingly on Sunday.
4. Gay Men Speed Dating @ Roxanne’s
Date: Saturday, March 21, 2026
Location: Roxanne’s, Long Beach, CA
Time: 5:00 – 7:00 PM
Age Range: 22–44
Tickets: Eventbrite
Spring is in the air and Long Beach’s LGBTQ+ community is not playing around. Gay Men Speed Dating at Roxanne’s is exactly what it sounds like: a fun, low-pressure evening of quick convos, good vibes, and the chance to meet someone who might actually text back.
This is a ticketed event, capped to keep it intimate, and timed perfectly before Saturday night gets going. Come in, meet some people, worst case you made a new friend. Best case? Well. It’s spring. Anything can happen.
5. Subtract on the Pier — Season Opener ft. Sébastien Léger
Date: Sunday, March 22, 2026
Location: Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier, Long Beach, CA
Time: 4:00 – 10:00 PM
Tickets: $40 | Eventbrite
This one is going to hit you right in the feelings, Long Beach.
Subtract on the Pier is in its 11th — and final — season. The beloved outdoor dance party at Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier is wrapping up its legendary run because the pier is heading into an extended remodel at the end of August. That means every single date this year is a goodbye of sorts. And what a way to start.
For the season opener, they’re bringing in melodic house visionary Sébastien Léger for his Long Beach debut, bringing the deep, dreamy grooves of his Lost Miracle imprint to the water’s edge at golden hour. Subtract founder Anton Tumas opens the set. The dance floor is phone-free. The Pacific Ocean is the backdrop. You will feel something.
$40. Sunday evening. One of the most iconic settings in the city. In its final year. Get your tickets now — these sell out.
Get Outside, Long Beach
Long Beach is doing the most this weekend and honestly? Same energy as always, but the sun’s going to be out a little longer and the air is going to smell a little sweeter because spring said so.
Whether you’re skating, dancing, hiking, speed dating, or just wandering through a night market with a plate of food in each hand — get outside. Long Beach is showing off this weekend and you deserve to see it. Happy spring equinox, LBC. We earned this one.
FAQs
You can absolutely show up and watch — it’s outdoors at the old City Hall Plaza. But if you want full access to everything, grab tickets in advance at kasso.ticketspice.com/kasso-lb. These things don’t always stay available, so don’t wait until tomorrow morning and then act surprised.
Free free. No catch, no ticket, no wristband. Just show up at Anaheim & Freeman between noon and 8 PM and bring cash for food and vendors because you will spend money — just happily and on your own terms.
Yes. If you can walk a hill and breathe on purpose, you’re qualified. Check the Eventbrite listing for exact details on intensity and what to bring, but this is meant to be a feel-good spring morning, not a fitness test.
The Khmer Town Night Market is great for the whole family. KASSO Fest is also very kid-friendly — kids love watching skating. The yoga hike on Sunday is doable depending on your little one’s energy level. Subtract and the speed dating are grown folks hours only.
Long Beach parking is its own whole thing, honestly. For KASSO, the downtown waterfront area has paid lots and street parking — give yourself extra time. For Subtract, you’ll have to find street parking and it’s a bit crowded. For the Night Market in Cambodia Town, street parking is also your best bet, and this is tricky here too. Signal Hill has parking at the park on the street and a parking lot at the corner of Obispo and Hill St.
