Councilmember Tim McOsker
“Join us this Saturday for the official opening of Piazza Miramare, the first Italian Piazza in California, located at 629 S. Harbor Blvd. at the corner of S. Harbor Blvd. and W. 6th St.Construction is complete, and we are excited to welcome the community into this new gathering place by the waterfront. Bring your friends and family, spend time with neighbors, and help us celebrate this beautiful new space built for connection and community.”

Little Italy of Los Angeles Association
“The European-style piazza will be located at the corner of S. Harbor Blvd. and West 6th St. in the “heart” of Little Italy of Los Angeles in downtown San Pedro, California.
A beautiful fountain, called “Fontana dei Pescatori”, will sit at the North end of the Piazza and the East side of the Piazza will host “The Waterfront Trellis”. The waterfront shade trellis will offer an open space to sit and enjoy a coffee or lunch and watch the ships pass through the Port of Los Angeles.
On the East side of the Piazza will be located the “Beacon Steps”. This terraced seating will be a great location to meet, watch, and relax.
This Piazza is meant as a gathering spot for all the ethnic groups in San Pedro and surrounding communities and we hope that it will become a place where we will all enjoy a slice of La Dolce Vita for many years to come.”

AltaSea Open House
2026-01-31 10:00 - 13:00 | AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles, Berth 58 2456 S. Signal Street, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
Join us for AltaSea’s first Open House of 2026, centered on the power of recycling and ocean stewardship through the ReUp Campaign. This special edition will feature Ryan Harris, surfboard shaper and sustainability innovator, who is transforming trash collected from the ocean into functional surfboard fins for boards he upcycles.
Learn how Ryan’s hands-on approach turns waste he encounters while surfing into high-performance surf components—demonstrating how recycling and creative reuse can directly protect our ocean playground. This event highlights practical solutions, circular design, and the role individuals and communities can play in reducing marine debris.
Whether you’re an ocean advocate, student, educator, or curious about recycling innovation, this open house offers an inspiring look at trash reimagined.
Ryan Harris grew up in Oregon where surfing required dedication fueled by passion. When he moved to Southern California, he fell in love with the sacred craft of board shaping, a natural extension of his artistic background. While working in a traditional poly glass shop, he met Rey Banatao from Entropy Bio Resins. Rey opened Ryan’s eyes to greener methods of making surfboards. Within a year Ryan was one of the leaders of green board building.
In early 2018 Ry launched the Zero Waste Initiative, another industry first. Just like the Surfboard Industry the Zero Waste system is constantly evolving and he looks forward to the growing list of upcycled sustainable products we can make in it.
