Hello Gundo
September 24, 2026

Hello, Gundo 👋 

It’s yet another crazy busy week of events here in El Segundo.

There’s the Main Street Fair, another weekend of Oktoberfest partying, tons of wellness events and pop-ups — and Richmond Bar & Grill celebrates 50 years!

Make sure to watch the Hello Gundo Instagram as we’ll share everything new that pops up.

-Sam & Angie Greenspan

PRESENTED BY

50 Years of Richmond!! 🍻
This one’s a big one.
Richmond Bar & Grill turns 50 years old, and we’re throwing a party the only way we know how. Pig roast, live music, new shirts, and more!
Come celebrate Friday evening!

This is a paid sponsorship. Payment is never required for an event to be featured in Hello Gundo.
However, if you do want to sponsor the newsletter, you’ll get a cool featured spot like this.

WHAT’S HAPPENIN’

We follow 150+ Instagram accounts, Facebook pages and groups, websites, and email lists to put together this comprehensive guide to everything happening in El Segundo this week.

Though we strive for 100% accuracy, as we all know too well: Schedules are subject to change. All event details are based on latest information on websites/social media. We’ve also called, DMed, and/or visited to confirm whenever possible.
