Port of Los Angeles Outer Harbor

Port of Los Angeles Outer Harbor, at Berths 45-49 in San Pedro, is a large outdoor site available for major public events. Its wide, open waterfront setting is suited to organisers planning concerts, festivals, sporting events and other productions that need substantial outdoor space. The location has hosted a range of public events, from live entertainment to motorsport and specialist shows.

The site covers 12 acres, with a broad asphalt backland and a concrete wharf beside San Pedro Bay. Views across the harbour and towards Cabrillo Beach give events a distinctly coastal backdrop, while the open layout offers organisers room to plan event infrastructure around their requirements. Free parking is available on site. The Outer Harbor also functions as a multi-use cruise ship berth, so organisers should coordinate availability and site use with the Port before making plans.

The Port of Los Angeles provides information on permits for activities held on Port property. Event applications should be submitted in advance, with larger productions needing additional lead time. Organisers can contact the Outer Harbor directly to discuss the location and its use. The site is a practical option for large-scale outdoor programmes seeking an expansive waterfront setting in Southern California, rather than a conventional indoor function room. Its scale and working-harbour context make it particularly relevant for productions that need open ground, vehicle access and room for event operations.
