57 Windward is Venice Beach’s premier event venue space

57 Windward is the most unique, oceanfront event venue space on the Westside of  Los Angeles. It is the ideal setting for brand activations, concerts, conferences, experiential and immersive events, pop-ups and so much more

Recent projects include activations for Dior, Armani, New Balance, Call of Duty, Activision Blizzard, Rare Beauty and many others. During the World Cup we hosted the US Soccer house fan zone, a three week activation that t brought more than 20,000 people through the compound.

We're gearing up for LA28! Australia's Olympic team has already locked in 57 Windward for the Games. If an Olympic presence in LA is on your roadmap, we'd love to walk you through our sister property at 1217 Second Street in downtown Santa Monica.

1217 is a newly renovated, 34,000 sq ft glass-and-deck building just steps from the beach, offering multiple indoor/outdoor spaces and high-tech building systems. It's still available for July–August 2028 and could support a full-building brand house, with four floors running simultaneous programming. Its zoning permits bar and restaurant service with no special permits required.

Let's talk.
