Friday on the Fairway: Sunset Sessions at The Penmar

CAMPBELL WELLMAN SUNSET SESSIONS PENMAR SUMMER 2026

If you missed the season opener, don’t worry— Tonight, April 10th marks Session Number 2. For the uninitiated, Sunset Sessions at The Penmar isn't your typical golf course event. It’s a weekly transformation where the back nine becomes a sprawling, family-friendly music festival.

The Vibe: Think picnic blankets, low-profile chairs, and the best golden hour in the zip code. It’s a "shoes-off, dogs-welcome" kind of evening where the local community gathers to toast the weekend as the sun dips behind the Santa Monica Mountains.

What to Expect:

  • The Soundtrack: An eclectic mix of local talent. While the specific lineup drops on Instagram a few days prior, you can always count on a soulful blend of Americana, Folk Rock, or Funk.

  • The Menu: Ditch the delivery apps. The Penmar serves up a curated festival menu featuring their famous pepperoni pizzas, charcuterie platters, and a full bar (the buckets of Modelo and High Noon are local favorites).

  • The Logistics: The music runs from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Pro tip: Arrive between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM to snag a prime spot on the grass before the putting green closes at 4:30 PM.

The Campbell Wellman Take: "The Penmar is the heartbeat of the Venice / Mar Vista border," says Colin. "It’s one of those rare places that perfectly captures the laid-back, inclusive spirit that makes our neighborhood so special."
