🔥 Midwest Bonfire Night at Dockweiler Beach 🔥

Nothing says summer like a bonfire on the beach — and nothing says *Midwest* like gathering around a fire with good people. Whether you just moved to LA or you've been here a while and still miss that warm, neighborly energy back home, come hang with your people at Dockweiler! *** **THE PLAN** We're taking over a fire pit at Dockweiler Beach for an evening of good vibes, s'mores, and that classic Midwest "just show up and have fun" energy. A few of us will head out early to snag a fire pit, but fair warning — **fire pits at Dockweiler are first come, first served**, and we can't guarantee one on a busy June Saturday. No worries though — we have back up options! We can kick back on the beach and catch what's going to be a gorgeous sunset, or head to a nearby bar or restaurant to keep the hang going. Either way, the night won't be a bust — we're here for the people, not just the pit! 🌅 *** **WHAT TO BRING** 🪑 Your own chair or blanket ⛱️ Beach umbrella or canopy if you want some shade for the earlier part of the evening 🍺 Your own drinks (alcohol is allowed — keep it in a cup/can, **no glass on the beach!**) 🌭 Snacks, food, anything you want to cook over the fire **What we'll have covered:** ✅ Wood & fire-starting supplies ✅ Skewers ✅ S'mores fixings (graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows) **PARKING** Dockweiler State Beach — **12001 Vista Del Mar, Playa del Rey, CA 90293** Park in the numbered lots along Vista Del Mar Blvd. Aim for **Lot 3** (the southernmost lot) — it's closest to the fire pit area. Parking is around **$15–$20** at the kiosk. **HOW TO FIND US** Once we're set up, we'll post our location in the comments so you can find us easily. You can also drop a comment or message the organizer when you arrive and we'll wave you down. 🙋 *** **A FEW GOOD-TO-KNOWS** * No glass containers on the beach * Dress in layers — warm at 5pm, cooler once the sun goes down * Sunset is around 8pm and from Dockweiler it's *chef's kiss* 🌇 * Fun fact: you're right under the LAX flight path — low-flying planes every few minutes, and honestly it never gets old Come for the fire, stay for the feeling of finally finding your people out here. 🌅🔥
