𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗖 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗦: Dogtown Car Club Draws Crowds at Venice Pier Block Party

Classic cars line Washington Boulevard at the Venice Pier during the Venice Block Party on Saturday afternoon, November 8, 2025 — turning the waterfront corridor into a nostalgic display of craftsmanship and chrome. Visitors stopped to admire the gleaming vehicles, snapping photos and selfies beside the restored rides that stretched toward the pier entrance.

Dogtown Car Club members stood by their vehicles, fielding questions, sharing restoration stories, and revealing the engines that power their decades-old machines. The relaxed, street-level setup fostered conversation between builders and bystanders alike, blending Venice’s neighborhood energy with Southern California’s long-running car culture.

Local artists, food vendors, and pop-up makers added to the scene, transforming the block into a community gathering that celebrated both creativity and heritage.

Santa Monica Closeup captured the atmosphere of the day as locals and visitors united around one of Venice’s enduring traditions — cars, community, and California sunshine.
