Newport Beach has no shortage of places to be seen. But Pendry Newport Beach — tucked into the heart of Newport Center — has quietly become the place where the community actually comes together. This spring, the hotel’s lineup of events is a reminder of why.
From intimate wine evenings to family-friendly Memorial Day celebrations, here’s what’s happening at one of Coastal OC’s most beloved gathering spots.
Grape Night at Tree Snack
April 23 | 6:00–8:30pm
Kick off the season at Tree Snack for Grape Night — an evening of fine wine, conversation, and the kind of effortless socializing Newport Beach does best. Hosted in collaboration with local winemakers and wine lovers, it’s equal parts tasting and social occasion. Tickets required.
Cinco de Mayo All Day
May 5
Tree Snack goes all in for Cinco de Mayo with $5 margaritas and taco specials all day, an exclusive molcajete special, classic margaritas for $9, and a lively musical ambiance that carries the afternoon well into evening. The kind of Tuesday you’ll actually look forward to.
Vinyl Meets Velvet
May 7 & 21 | 8:00–11:00pm
Thursday nights at The Cabaret just got a soundtrack. Vinyl Meets Velvet brings DJ Steve Dub to the stage, spinning new and old in true Elwood Club style. Two nights to mark in the calendar — May 7 and May 21.
LOOP in Newport
May 9 | 10:00am–12:00pm
In partnership with LOOP, Pendry hosts a special group workout followed by an engaging women’s wellness panel — designed to inspire conversation and connection as much as movement. An all-levels event, open to all. Tickets required.
Mother’s Day Brunch at SET
May 10 | 11:00am–2:30pm
Celebrate the mothers in your life at SET, Pendry’s acclaimed restaurant, with a Mother’s Day Brunch worth the reservation. Bottomless mimosas, floral crowns, and a thoughtfully curated selection of food and beverage specials. Convivial, elegant, and very Newport.
Memorial Day BBQ at The Pavilion
May 25 | 11:00am–3:00pm
Summer doesn’t officially begin in Newport until someone fires up the grill. Pendry’s Memorial Day BBQ at The Pavilion brings together family-style BBQ, live music, a DJ-curated summer soundtrack, and the kind of guaranteed good times that make this holiday weekend feel right. A fitting send-off to spring.
Saturday Shopping Series
May 23–25 & 30 | 11:00am–3:00pm
Over Memorial Day weekend and the Saturday following, catch the Vacation Sunscreen pop-up trunk show across six locations — a local brand worth knowing if you don’t already.
OC Soccer Club Youth Series
May 30 | 4:30pm
Pendry closes out May with something for the next generation. An exclusive soccer clinic with OC Soccer Club features game appearances, coach-led lessons, drills, gameplay, and gameday vibes — plus a visit from Gianly the mascot. A great afternoon for families in the community.
