Fun for Little Explorers
This fall, 2ND & PCH will also host several cultural markets that bring the community together to celebrate diversity. On Saturday, October 12th, the 714 Market honors Filipino American History Month in partnership with the Long Beach Filipino Festival. From 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., the market will feature cultural performances, artisanal goods, and a chance to support local Filipino businesses.
Next, on Saturday, October 26th, the Dreamers Market: Halloween Edition invites guests to embrace the spooky spirit with handmade crafts and festive products from local makers.

“We carefully select honorees who reflect our core values—those who have taken their platforms and used them to advocate for social good,” Nurit explains. “The impact they’ve had, not just on the industry, but on communities, is incredible. We want attendees to walk away feeling that same inspiration, knowing they can be part of this movement for change.”
