Third Street Promenade, Shopping and pedestrian street in Santa Monica, US.
Third Street Promenade spans three blocks in downtown Santa Monica with numerous retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues along its car-free pathway.
The area transformed from a regular street to the Santa Monica Mall in 1965, followed by a complete renovation and renaming to Third Street Promenade in 1989.
Street performers entertain visitors throughout the day while public art installations, including dinosaur-shaped topiaries, enhance the outdoor space between shopping centers.
Multiple parking structures surround the promenade, offering convenient access to the shopping district and Santa Monica Place mall at its southern end.
The Wednesday and Saturday farmers market brings local California produce vendors to the promenade, creating a fresh food destination in downtown Santa Monica.
