Discounted Fiesta Hermosa Carnival Rides for Locals
May 5, 2013 at 7:20 pm
Hermosa Beach residents and local artists have until May 17 to take advantage of some special Fiesta Hermosa offers, according to the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau. The Fiesta takes place May 25 through 27.
Residents can receive a discount on Fiesta Hermosa carnival ride tickets if purchased by May 17. Tickets, sold in books of 24, are available for $15, a 25 percent savings off the regular price, said Matt Bennett of the chamber.
Local Hermosa Beach-based artists will receive a 50% discount off the regular price of entry to encourage their participation. Fiesta Hermosa attracts thousands to downtown Hermosa Beach during the 3-day Memorial Day weekend event. It is billed as “Largest Arts & Crafts Fair in Southern California” and has been taking place since 1972.
Another perk for local chamber member restaurants is priority placement in this year’s Fiesta Hermosa Food Court, said Bennett.
Tradition rings true, too, as the chamber has once again selected 10 Hermosa Beach-based charitable organizations that will receive funding through their participation in serving at the Fiesta’s Charity Beer & Wine Garden. In 2012, more than $30,000 was raised to benefit local charities, he said.
Fiesta Hermosa, which features more than 400 artists and crafters, including painters, photographers, ceramicists, jewelers, sculptors, and handicrafters, is free to the public.
Discounted carnival ride tickets for residents (bring proof of your residency) are available through May 17th at the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce office, 1007 Hermosa Ave., Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

">Hermosan Wins Fiesta Hermosa Logo Design Contest
April 17, 2013 at 9:12 pm
Freelance designer Priscila Bara has won the Fiesta Hermosa Logo Design contest sponsored by the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau.
The Hermosa Beach resident’s design was selected from nearly 40 entries and will be used on Fiesta Hermosa event banners and other collateral materials, said Matt Bennett of the chamber. Bara also received a free year’s membership in the chamber for her winning entry.
Bara’s design work is extensive, having created all sorts of materials for the likes of Skechers, Neutrogena, Creative Teaching Press, Spin Master and Univision Network, to name a few. Her work spans industries that include music, fashion and toys.
She is originally from Brazil, where she won a children’s contest as a 7-year-old, prompting her drawing to become a stamp for the Brazilian Post Office. Bara says the honor served as early inspiration for her artistic creativity.
“Hermosa Beach is just perfect,” she said, when contacted about the Fiesta Hermosa win. “I love the awesome beach, surf, volleyball, and I think it’s just the cutest place in California! It’s really an honor for me to contribute to my city and have my logo selected for Fiesta Hermosa.”
