LOFT Eyewear Show returns to Santa Monica in October

3rd August 2026

The latest edition in California – created for independent eyewear brands and designers and the optical retail community – will showcase design and innovation for the new season while creating a live meeting point for connection, education, discussion and networking

Taking place on 16th to 17th October 2026, LOFT ‘s Santa Monica edition is considered one of the premiere trade-only events for the independent optical community in the US. For the second year in a row, the event will take place at the historic Santa Monica Post Office, described as a landmark building a few blocks from the beach in the heart of downtown Santa Monica, a beautiful setting for the international eyewear collections and brands that show as part of LOFT each year. The West-coast event hosts a CE program led by Kayla Ashlee from SPEXY, a well-respected training and education company for optometric staff and practice leadership. Above: the 2025 edition was the first LOFT show to take place at the historic venue in Santa Monica
