To conclude the ceremonial portion of the day, the assembled guest speakers and dignitaries will lead the audience in reciting the names of the 13 original American states.

The Korean Bell is rung officially on four other occasions each year – Korean Independence Day (August 15th) Constitution Day (September 21st), New Year’s Eve and Korean American Day (January 13th).
Angels Gate Park is located at 3601 South Gaffey Street in San Pedro. The free event, conducted every year since the Korean Bell’s installation in 1976 is sponsored by the Office of Councilman Joe Buscaino; the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks; the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce; and the Korean Friendship Bell Preservation Committee (KFBPC).

Grand Re-opening of the Hey Rookie Pool
2017-06-27 15:00 | Hey Rookie Pool, 3601 S. Gaffey St., San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
Please join Councilman Buscaino next Tuesday afternoon for the grand re-opening of the Hey Rookie pool, also known as the Gaffey St. pool. The historic pool was once a place where World War II soldiers used to gather to watch synchronized swimming shows. After construction delays due to the discovery of World War II era tunnels, the pool will re-open for the summer season.
The reconstruction included the refurbishment of the existing historical 110-foot by 50-foot, 5,500 square-foot, swimming pool in addition to the construction of a 4,470 square-foot bathhouse with a pool equipment room. Additional improvements include handicapped access ramps and stairs, walkways, access road, parking areas, seating, exhibit panels and plaque, hillside grading, landscaping and irrigation and a new event concrete terrace.

Meet the Grunion
2017-06-25 20:00 | Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen M. White Drive, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
From March through July, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium presents special evening programs to introduce you to the unique and elusive grunion.
At times the beach may look as if it is covered in a blanket of silver as the wriggling fish arrive to mate. The females burrow into the sand to lay eggs while the males wrap around them in order to fertilize the eggs. Then both males and females catch the next wave back out to sea. The fertilized eggs incubate for about nine days in the sand before the tumbling action of the waves from the next series of high tides cause them to hatch as they are carried back out to sea.
The Aquarium opens at 8 p.m. Guests must arrive before 9pm to participate in the full program in the auditorium, followed by a guided observation. Dress warmly and bring a flashlight to spot grunion at the beach. Program admission is $5 for adults and $1 children/seniors/students with I.D. Buy tickets at the door or pre-purchase your tickets at Meet the Grunion to guarantee admission. Processing fees apply.
