Santa Monica Place Celebrates Summer in Style

As part of its new “My Santa Monica Summer” promo campaign, the recently revamped Santa Monica Place is offering out-of-town visitors a free SMP canvas tote bag filled with summer schwag, including a Shopping and Dining Rewards Book that promises $500 in savings at participating stores and restaurants.

Interested shoppers are invited to check into Santa Monica Place on Facebook via their cell before heading to the the tri-level, open-air shopping and dining hot spot, where they can pick up the freebie by showing proof of their Facebook connection at the concierge desk located on level 1. The tote is available through August 31 or until supplies last.

Don't forget the sunscreen.

FUN FACT: The exterior of Santa Monica Place stood in for the fictitious Ridgemont Mall in the opening credits of the 1983 classic film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
