Get inside a sea otter’s head by taking a close look at a skull and see if you notice anything unusual. There will also be a pelt on display showcasing the sea otter’s thick fur.

south of the Catalina Express Terminal. Events have had over 40 sponsors and contributors and

4th Annual Horton's Hayride
2017-09-16 14:00 | Berth 46, 3011 Miner St,, San Pedro, CA, 90731
The 4th Annual Horton’s Hayride returns to Berth 46 at The Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, CA on Saturday, September 16.
Join your host, Reverend Horton Heat, for an action packed day of live music, a classic car & hot rod contest, the Southland’s best food trucks, full bars and shop at some of the South Bay’s best retail vendors.
Tickets go on sale Friday, May 19 @ 10:00AM Pacific Standard Time through TicketWeb.com or by calling 1-866-468-3399.
Loaded .38s, space heaters, and big skies. Welcome to the lethal, littered landscape of Jim Heath’s imagination. True to his high evangelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing & reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of American music. He’s a time-travelling space-cowboy on an endless interstellar musical tour, and we are all the richer and “psychobillier” for getting to tag along.
Seeing REVEREND HORTON HEAT live is a transformative experience. Flames come off the guitars. Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing like the primal tribal rock ‘n roll transfiguration of a Reverend Horton Heat show. Jim becomes a slicked-back 1950?s rock ‘n roll shaman channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand-Up Bass. And then there are the “Heatettes”. Those foxy rockabilly chicks dressed in poodle-skirts and cowboy boots slamming the night away. It’s like being magically transported into a Teen Exploitation picture from the 1950s that’s currently taking place in the future.
Listening to the REVEREND HORTON HEAT is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants are simple. Rock hard, drive fast, and live true. And no band on this, or any other, planet rocks harder, drives faster, or lives truer than the Reverend Horton Heat. These itinerant preachers actually practice what they preach. They live their lives by the Gospel of Rock ‘n Roll.

Special Guest Ben Lecomte at AltaSea Open House
2017-09-16 10:00 | AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles, Berth 58 2456 S. Signal Street, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
Alta Sea Open House
“Beginning next spring, if everything goes to plan, Lecomte will swim from Tokyo to San Francisco, a 5,500-mile trip expected to take six months. He will swim eight hours a day, then recuperate the rest of each day on The Discoverer, the 67-foot sailboat carrying his support team and supplies.
Along the way, Lecomte’s team will collect and store thousands of samples of ocean water and biometric data about Lecomte, on behalf of a variety of major science organizations researching the condition of the ocean and its impacts on sea life and humans.
To help kick off pre-swim preparations, Lecomte will be featured at the quarterly open house for AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles. The open house begins at 10 am, Sept. 16, at Berth 58 in the port, at 2456 S. Signal St. in San Pedro, Calif. It is open to the public, but reservations are required. Email RSVP@altasea.org by Sept. 11.
At the open house, Lecomte will be joined by Matthew Mulrennan, director of the Ocean Initiative for Lecomte sponsor the XPRIZE Foundation, and Capt. Charles Moore, founder and research director of Algalita Marine Research and Education. Moore has spent two decades researching the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a dead zone filled with countless tons of pulverized plastic particles and other flotsam left by humans around the planet.” David Bloom

Coastal/Border
2017-09-16 | Angels Gate Cultural Center, 3601 S. Gaffey St, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
Coastal/Border is an exhibition of original site-responsive performance and installation work with corresponding public programming curated by Raquel Gutiérrez and Martabel Wasserman. Taking as its starting point the landscape and history of the area surrounding Angels Gate Cultural Center, six Southern California based artists will interrogate how the coast is fortified as border, and how in turn that impacts the Latino/Latina communities of Los Angeles and beyond. In asking artists to develop a performance or public programming component of their work, the curators seek to emphasize the ways in which historical connections between Los Angeles and Latin America are embodied in the present.
Coastal/Border will be open to the public September 16th and run through December 17th 2017 at Angels Gate Cultural Center.

"from sea to shining sea"
2017-09-06 18:30 - 19:00 | White Point Nature Preserve, 1600 W. Paseo del Mar, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
“from sea to shining sea” (FSTSS) is a sculpture, video and sound installation that takes a site-specific choir performance as a departure point. The a href=”http://www.c3la.org/” target=”_blank”>C3LA Choir will perform at White Point Military Reservation, within a decommissioned long range naval gun casemate where guns were never fired for their intended purpose. The final installation will move into Angels Gate Cultural Center, reconstructing the spatial and theatrical context of the live performance piece as a sculpture, video and sound installation. Borrowing its title from the last line of the song “America the Beautiful”, the project utilizes declassified logistics data from White Point Military Reservation as parameters to deconstruct and rearrange the song. Through the process of breaking down language by isolating and reorganizing the musical and linguistic components of “America the Beautiful”, the piece reconsiders the song’s history, to subvert its poetic, benevolent, and hopeful narrative. The project responds to San Pedro’s militarization process as a coastal city and the historical significance of the site. With a rich history of immigrant populations, San Pedro’s history also aligns with WWII notions of national security, as they still relate today to patriotism and xenophobia. FSTSS connects the history of this militarized, man-made landscape to the normalization of the U.S.’s exceptionalism to legitimize military interventions worldwide, and its ambivalent relationship to the displacement of immigrants and refugees, often a direct result of such interventions. FSTSS repurposes a site of military destruction, reclaiming the space through a collective audio-visual experience. There will be two performances:
Saturday September 9 2017
6:30
7:00
Location:
Paul D. Bunker Battery
White Point Nature Preserve
1600 W Paseo Del Mar, San Pedro, CA 90731 There is no car access to the site, so please plan accordingly. Bring comfortable shoes and allow at least 45 minutes after arrival by car, as there is a hike from the parking lot at the White Point Natural Preserve to the site of the performance at the top of the hill, the Paul D. Bunker Battery on the East side.
