We're back with your weekly round-up of events happening in and around Long Beach this week. If you have something going on around town that you'd like us to know about, get in touch with me at [email protected].

Here are some events to start with:

Summer lunch cruises (July 17)

Get a complementary 30-minute harbor cruise every Wednesday at noon from now until Aug. 28 when you purchase lunch to-go from Shenanigans, Tugboat Pete’s or Gilan Pizza. You'll receive your boarding passes when you arrive to pick up your lunch order. The ship will leave from Dock 9 near Parkers' Light House. More information at the bottom of the page here.
