The first half of North Redondo Beach Business Association’s (NRBBA) fifth annual “Dine Around ARTesia,” in partnership with the Redondo Beach Art Group, took place July 29 on Artesia Blvd., drawing more than 220 attendees to sample food and drink.
A total of 19 Redondo businesses and 25 artists participated. The evening also featured live musicians, a raffle and a silent auction.
Proceeds from the $40 (adult) tickets go to scholarships for Redondo Union High School students, and to support student entrepreneurs.
Robin Garfield, NRBBA vice president, organized and redesigned “Dine Around ARTesia” through her role as an event producer and owner of Garfield Consultants LLC.
“The purpose is multifaceted; to bring business to Artesia Boulevard and the businesses of North Redondo, and what better way [to do that] than to have people walk into businesses and experience them firsthand?” Garfield said. “It’s about [the] economic development of our corridor, and last year we added art to really celebrate the local artists that make Redondo beautiful.”
“Dine Around” 2026 featured new businesses such as Mickey’s Italian Deli and Pizzeria and Vanity Salon.
The second “Dine Around” event is set for August 20, on the west side of Artesia Blvd.
Since its introduction last year, the ARTwalk part has expanded to include more South Bay artists.
Tickets for August 20 are already two-thirds sold out. ER
