Pink Banners Line the Pier for Morning Memory Walk
Seal Beach, CA · October 3, 2026
A sea of pink shirts is already gathering along Ocean Avenue before the midday heat arrives. If you are out early for coffee, expect bustling sidewalks and a spirited crowd heading toward the water.
The Lead
Eisenhower Park transforms into a sea of pink this morning as the annual Pier Memory Walk gets underway to open Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Co-hosted by The Pink Journey Foundation and the Seal Beach Lions Club, the gathering honors survivors, remembers loved ones, and raises funding for local mobile mammography screenings.
Check-in begins at 8:00 AM beneath the palm trees, followed by a 9:00 AM opening ceremony before walkers take their first strides along the wooden planks at 9:30 AM. For many longtime families, the route carries profound personal meaning, offering a peaceful, collective moment above the breaking surf. Organizers will keep registration booths and resource tables open through late morning for walk-up participants who want to add their footsteps to the pier.

Spotlight & Story
- Almond Park
- Most visitors walk past Almond Park without realizing it was originally platted in 1965 as the neighborhood’s grand community swimming pool. When developers quietly dropped the pool to pack in more houses, persistent neighbors organized to rescue the 1.5-acre lot as open parkland.
