Art isn't meant to just engage your eyes. Great art moves you, speaks to you, and inspires you to want to learn more about it. That's exactly what you will experience when you visit the Long Beach Museum of Art. Featuring some of the most impressive pieces of work rendered in various media, this popular attraction embraces both the creations and the creators of art. The museum itself qualifies as a unique piece of art in its own right, as its stunning construction and design allow the building to be situated atop a bluff which offers an equally mesmerizing view of Long Beach Harbor.

A spicy taste of New Orleans comes to the West Coast by way of the Long Beach Crawfish Festival. There's plenty of great live music, vendors and activities and of course, plenty of delicious food! This is one of Long Beach's biggest events, as it regularly draws approximately 15,000 people when it is held every July in the city's Rainbow Lagoon Park.

See Alamitos Bay from a truly unique (and romantic) perspective when you tour the area from an authentic Italian gondola. Gondola Getaway makes this special tour possible, as they offer you and your sweetheart a chance to see the harbor and the bayfront from a memorable vantage point. To add an even more authentic touch, the gondolier will croon upon request. The tour also includes complimentary appetizers to make your excursion even more relaxing.
