The 8th Annual Santa Stroll
The 8th Annual Santa Stroll is scheduled for December 12, 2026 at Hermosa Beach Pier in Hermosa Beach, California. The event is presented by Mychal’s Learning Place and takes place along the Strand between Hermosa Beach Pier and Manhattan Beach Pier.
The event is a 5K fun run, walk, or casual stroll. A large group of participants dress as Santas or wear festive attire while moving along the route from Hermosa Beach Pier to Manhattan Beach Pier and back.
Proceeds benefit Mychal’s Learning Place. Funds support programs and services that help youth and young adults with developmental disabilities work toward greater independence and personal goals.
Each adult registration includes either a Santa suit or a festive t-shirt, and children receive a t-shirt; the first 200 children receive an additional surprise from Squishmallow. Dogs are welcome; participating dogs receive a bandana and may join a holiday costume contest. Items are provided while supplies last.
Mychal’s Learning Place uses this and other events to raise funds and to create opportunities for participants to engage with the community and demonstrate their abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
