Hello Gundo
October 23, 2025

Hello, Gundo 👋 

If you walk out of your door on Saturday, you’ll stumble onto an event in town.

There’s so much happening here in El Segundo. A lot of it is Halloween themed — but also, a lot of it isn’t. No matter what you’re interested in… it’s happening.

As always, if and when new events pop up or any details change, we’ll share them on the Hello Gundo Instagram.

-Sam & Angie Greenspan

WHAT’S HAPPENIN’
