Hermosa Beach To Host Teen Choice Awards 2019

HERMOSA BEACH, CA — Teen Choice 2019 will broadcast for the first time from Hermosa Beach on Sunday, August 11, featuring performances by celebrities from TV, music, film and social media. This will be the first time the popular awards show — which gives teens the power to pick the winners — will be broadcast live from a beach, the City of Hermosa Beach press release said.

"We are so thrilled to host Teen Choice 2019 in Hermosa Beach," said Hermosa Beach Mayor Stacey Armato. "This awards show will be a great opportunity to showcase Hermosa Beach to audiences around the country and, even more importantly, provide our teens with an exciting and free musical event on their own hometown sand. The City of Hermosa Beach is working with the producers to ensure the security of the event and will be encouraging parents and teens to visit our restaurants and businesses while in Hermosa for Teen Choice 2019 so that our businesses will benefit from the event."

Teen Choice 2019 will air live from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on the East Coast and via tape delay from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on the West Coast on FOX. Last year's Teen Choice awards featured songs by Khalid, Meghan Trainor, Lauv, Bebe Rexha and Foster the People.

"The awards show will feature a surf-and-sand dance number that will set the stage for performances, surprise viral moments and more," the City of Hermosa Beach said. "For over two decades, the show has presented performances and appearances by some of pop culture’s brightest stars."

In addition to Teen Choice 2019, Hermosa Beach will host concerts on the beach in August as is the annual tradition. This will be the first year the global music management and events company, 5B Artists + Media, will produce the Hermosa Beach Summer Series. The company is planning an enhanced program that will include comedy, movies by the beach, beach cleanups and more on the three other weekends in August.

"With Teen Choice 2019 coming to Hermosa for the first time and 5B Artists + Media launching its enhanced concert series with more entertainment and community activities, the summer of 2019 is sure to be exciting and entertaining for all our residents in Hermosa Beach," Mayor Armato said.
