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.
So you've been going casual the last few times you've gone out to enjoy the Long Beach nightlife. Try something completely different by dressing up and experiencing a first-class treatment when you make the Sky Room your destination for the evening. You will feel like you are in a Hollywood movie the moment you step into this classic nightlife venue. Enjoy pre-dinner cocktails and appetizers before your main entree. Of course, you must leave room for a scrumptious dessert. Enjoy all of this while a pianist adds just the right musical touch every night of the week except Saturdays when a seven piece orchestra performs melodies to complement a perfectly classic evening.
