Ocean Way Festival

Ocean Way Festival Update Sept. 11, 2026: 

Due to the impacts of Hurricane Marie, the city of Santa Monica and Goldenvoice have canceled the inaugural Ocean Way Festival. 

Storm surf and runoff has caused significant beach erosion and the festival can no longer be safely held as planned. Please see this press release for more information. 

We were so excited to spend a weekend together on The Beach, but can share that plans are already underway to bring the festival to Santa Monica in 2027! Refunds are being processed automatically for ticketholders, and no further action is required. For ticket-related information and questions, please visit the Ocean Way Festival page. 

The city and Goldenvoice still intend to move forward this year with many of the community benefit initiatives that were developed alongside Ocean Way Festival. Details are being coordinated now, and additional information will be shared in the coming days. 

Community members with questions can contact community@oceanwayfestival.com or call (424) 260-1923.
