It's another great summer weekend in Manhattan Beach, and this time it's beach volleyball - and other beachside fun - that will dominate the scene.

This weekend's AVP Manhattan Beach Open tournament is the longest running continuous event in the sport, and is widely considered the "Wimbledon of beach volleyball." The tournament, which started as an amateur event and is now part of the professional volleyball players tour, is now in its 60th year. Worth noting: Manhattan Beach Open is the only professional volleyball tournament in which amateurs are able to "place into" the event through pre-qualifying rounds.

The tournament takes place in the large stadium just south of the Manhattan Beach Pier. If you want to be a spectator for any of the volleyball events, tickets will be available on-site based on availability at the AVP box office.

Events for the weekend include:

8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.: AVP Manhattan Beach Open qualification rounds will be going on all day on Thursday.

4:00 p.m. The annual Walk of Fame Pier Ceremony that honors the winners of the previous year's Manhattan Beach Open will take place on the Manhattan Beach Pier. Plaques will be enshrined on the pier to commemorate the 2018 winners (Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena; April Ross and Alix Klineman).

5:00 p.m.: The annual Sunset Beach Party will take place at the AVP stadium's Sky Deck. Tickets range from $55 to $120 for this popular party.
