Hark back to a time when shopping on a street was a friendly, inviting experience when you visit 4th Street in Long Beach. This is a section of the city that stretches between Cherry and Junipero streets and is referred to as Retro Row. There are over 40 independent merchants who specialize in the unexpected. Among these cool and kitschy shops you will find vintage and contemporary clothing, furniture and accessories, art, antiques and collectibles, books and lots more. There are also several locally-owned restaurants, coffee shops and wine bars that add to the charm of this very unique part of Long Beach.

The Grand Prix of Long Beach is held every April and has the distinction of being the largest event in the area. It began in 1975 and attracts fans of auto racing from all over the world who eagerly await the checkered flag to drop to see who will dominate the sporting event and walk away with the coveted trophy.
