We encourage the entire community to participate in any or all of the events and programs organized every month by the BKBIA.

Every first Friday night of the month participating Bixby Knolls businesses stay open late and have special sales, promotions, in-store activities, and first glimpses of their newest services and product lines.  All BKBIA members are encouraged to come and participate whether or not they are located within the “pedestrian zone” of Atlantic Avenue (Bixby Road to San Antonio).

The Expo Arts Center and our “Allery” are open to support the freshest local art talent in Long Beach, experimental music, performing arts, and the occasional spoken word. First Fridays is a great opportunity for you to meet the owners of our businesses and give them your support.

Bixby Knolls Strollers is a neighborhood walking club that meets every Saturday morning at 7:15am at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (4105 Atlantic Ave).  Coffee Bean sponsors the group and provides free coffee each week.  Strollers members purchase additional drinks and treats each week. It’s a great way to get fit, check out the businesses, explore the neighborhoods, and meet your neighbors. Leashed dogs are welcome, also. The walks last for about an hour and the routes change weekly.

Every third Sunday kids rule the streets. Kidical Mass Bixby Knolls is our monthly family-friendly bike ride that leaves at 1:00pm from Georgie’s Place (3850 Atlantic Ave.) All ages and abilities welcome. Free ice cream for everyone after the ride. Routes are approximately 4 miles long and take about an hour to complete.
