Sandpipers South Bay Holiday Home Tour: Shopping, Drinks & More

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Sandpipers, a South Bay-based nonprofit organization, will host their 27th Annual Holiday Home Tour Friday, December 6, through Sunday, December 8.

The tour features four homes in various Manhattan Beach neighborhoods, which will be decorated and transformed for the holiday season by top local designers, retailers, and florists for attendees to visit and explore, the press release said. Proceeds from the event will benefit more than 60 local charities Sandpiper supports, as well as individuals and families in need of emergency financial assistance, the organization's press release said.

"We are thrilled to welcome Los Angeles residents near and far to experience the joy of the holidays in the South Bay. Whether it’s the decorations, friendships, featured artisans or the stunning homes themselves, the Sandpipers’ Holiday Homes Tour will not only surprise and delight, but raise the resources to support so many in need," Natalie Radtke, President of Sandpipers, said.

More than 2,000 people attend Sandpipers’ Holiday Homes Tour each year, and it garners support from numerous local businesses and community partners, including Beach Point Capital Management, Manhattan Village, Rockefeller Kempel Architects, Chevron and Southbay Magazine, among others.
