This weekend Fiesta Hermosa is bringing arts and crafts, live entertainment, a wine garden, a carnival and more to the local community. KNX News’ Nataly Tavidian has more on the longtime event.

She interviewed Kathy Clarke, owner of Glow Pups, who said the strong sense of community and the family-friendly, dog-friendly vibe brings her to the festival. Manhattan Beach-based Glow Pups sells dog bowls that keep water cool, beds, collars, leashes, and toys, mostly designed by Clarke’s team.

She enjoys connecting directly with customers at festivals and finds it refreshing compared to selling behind a screen. Clarke also values the feedback she gets at events like Fiesta Hermosa – it’s her second year as a vendor there, but she’s been attending the festival with her family for years.

“She describes the festival’s atmosphere as warm and homey, with familiar faces from the local South Bay community, making it a welcoming and friendly event where everyone seems connected,” said Tavidian.

“Everybody’s friendly, they’re all easy-going,” said Clarke.

Fiesta has been running for more than 50 years and its roots go back even further. This year it runs from Saturday through Monday. More information is available here.
