The Southern California Music Festival You Don't Want to Miss

For a concert experience you’ll never forget, head to Dana Point in sunny Southern California, where you can join your best friends, new friends, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Strokes, Eddie Vedder, Incubus, Jenny Lewis, and many more musicians at Ohana Music Festival. 

Set along the sands of Doheny State Beach in Orange County, Ohana Fest 2019 is pulling out all the stops for this year’s three-day music extravaganza, which takes place Friday, September 27 through Sunday, September 29. With two musical stages, a special storytellers’ stage, and a handful of mouthwatering food and drink options, this event offers everything you need to let loose and take in all the positive California vibes. 

If you need a bit more convincing, the festival’s charitable efforts just might be the extra push you need; a portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit California nonprofits working with California State Parks to preserve, develop, and enhance the recreational experiences at coastal parks throughout SoCal. So grab your ticket, pack a bag, and hop on the Pacific Coast Highway for the ultimate road trip and concert experience.
