Review:
Third Street Promenade is one of the Los Angeles Westside's premiere upscale shopping and entertainment districts, located in Santa Monica's downtown area.
The district has been one of Santa Monica's primary business districts since the turn of the 20th century, with the current Promenade section developed into a pedestrian mall in the 1960s. Today, it functions as an open-air shopping center, hosting internationally-known retailers such as H&M, Sephora, Armani Exchange, and Anthropologie, as well as several movie theaters showing first-run and blockbuster films.
It also hosts the region's oldest and largest farmer's market, held each Wednesday and Saturday. Street performers frequent the district on weekend evenings, including singer-songwriters, magicians, dancers, and drummers.
