Thanksgiving Week Has Arrived in El Segundo

Here's everything going on in town

Hello Gundo
November 20, 2025

Hello, Gundo 👋 

Thanksgiving is one week away (or less, depending on when you’re reading this).

Need something to do (or for your kids to do when they’re off next week)? There’s plenty going on around town! Maybe there’s a little less than usual next week. But based on what we’re seeing, that’s the calm before the storm of endless stuff to do in December.

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

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.
