Fall at the Seal Beach Pier: Craft Fairs, Sidewalk Sales & Community Walks

There is no better time to visit the Seal Beach Pier than early fall. The summer crowds have thinned, the evenings have cooled off, and the stretch of Main Street between Eisenhower Park and the sand fills up with weekend events almost every week.

Seal Beach Lions Arts & Crafts Faire — September 12–13, 2026

The Lions Club faire returns to Eisenhower Park, right at the pier entrance, for its annual two-day run. Expect more than 100 juried crafters, a dedicated Kids Craft Zone, and live performances from local youth groups on the center stage. Admission is free, parking fills early, and the walk from Main Street is short — plan to arrive in the morning and make a day of it.

Popups at the Pier & Sidewalk Sale — September 26, 2026

Hosted by the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce, this local business showcase brings pop-up vendors to the pier area alongside the town’s seasonal sidewalk sale weekend. It is the best day of the fall to browse Main Street shops, meet the makers behind them, and pick up something you will not find at a mall.

Seal Beach Goes Pink Walk — October 3, 2026

Also organized by the Chamber, this community wellness and awareness walk gathers near the pier and heads out along the waterfront. Wear pink, bring the family, and stay for coffee on Main Street afterward. It is one of the town’s most well-attended fall traditions and an easy way to support a good cause.

Also Worth Knowing

Save Our Beach hosts a volunteer beach cleanup at the First Street parking lot on the third Saturday of most months, including September 19 and October 17. Supplies are provided and no experience is needed — it is a good excuse to be at the water before the day warms up.

Planning Your Visit

The pier and Eisenhower Park sit at the foot of Main Street, with metered lots along Ocean Avenue and First Street. Those fill quickly on event weekends, so consider arriving before 10 a.m. or parking a few blocks inland and walking down. Fall mornings on the coast run cooler than inland Orange County — bring a layer.

Event dates and details can change. Confirm with the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce or the City of Seal Beach before you head out.
