Hermosa Beach Chamber cancels “Labor Day Fiesta Hermosa”

Fiesta Hermosa—touted as one of the largest arts and crafts fairs in Southern California— was expected to bring thousands to Hermosa Beach Labor Day weekend as it has for decades, but the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce was forced to cancel the event due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, it was announced today.

The chamber has been hit hard financially due to COVID-19, having to cancel all its major events, beginning with its St. Patrick’s Day Parade and followed by the Memorial Day Fiesta Hermosa.

The Fiesta Hermosa events help fund other celebrations in the city throughout the year including the Holiday Tree Lighting and New Year’s Eve festivities on Pier Plaza, as well as events to support nonprofit organizations and local businesses, said chamber President/CEO Maureen Hunt.
