Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. (DTSM, Inc.), in partnership with YAPPY STUDIOS, will bring the Third Street Promenade to life on Saturday, February 14, 2026, as Santa Monica Block Fest Vol. III transforms all three blocks of the Promenade into one of the city’s largest free nightlife and music events to date.
Beginning at 5 p.m., the multi-block celebration will span the 1200, 1300 and 1400 blocks of Third Street Promenade and feature live DJs, custom stages, pop-up bars and immersive nightlife programming, with seasonal Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day–inspired elements woven throughout the evening.
Santa Monica Block Fest Vol. III reflects the continued evolution of the Promenade under Santa Monica’s Entertainment Zone (EZSM), a city-approved initiative designed to support outdoor drinking, activate nightlife programming, boost foot traffic and drive economic activity for local businesses.
Event highlights include three dedicated stages hosted by LA-based music collectives, with Beat Repeat on the 1200 block, Product Pluto on the 1300 block and YAPPY STUDIOS on the 1400 block. Lounges, themed activations and a diverse lineup spanning house to vinyl sets offer multiple ways to experience the festival. The pop-up bars will keep the energy flowing throughout the Entertainment Zone.
