SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 2026 – Piazza Miramare
Three years after its groundbreaking, San Pedro celebrated the long-awaited opening of Piazza Miramare on Saturday, January 18, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and festive gathering in the heart of Downtown San Pedro’s Little Italy district.
Considered the state’s first Italian piazza, the European-style public space at 629 S. Harbor Blvd. offers a welcoming place to gather, enjoy coffee, and take in views of the working LA Harbor. The 10,000-square-foot plaza serves as the hub of San Pedro’s Little Italy and will host future cultural and entertainment programming led by the Little Italy of Los Angeles Association.
Designed by award-winning firm Gensler, the piazza officially opened with remarks and a ribbon-cutting hosted by LA City Councilmember Tim McOsker, joined by Italian Consul General Rafaella Valentini, former LA City Councilmember Joe Buscaino, Christian Di Sanzo, a member of the Italian Parliament, and other local community leaders.
