Ocean Way Festival

The city of Santa Monica has partnered with Goldenvoice, the group behind Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Festival, to produce a first-of-its-kind music festival on Santa Monica Beach this September. 

The Ocean Way Festival will include live music across two days of programming and collaborations with Santa Monica artists, businesses and restaurants. 

It’s all part of the city’s unprecedented investment in bringing major events and activations, welcoming the world to our shores in tandem with international happenings in the region over the next few years. Building on investments in public safety, business support and civic cleanliness via the city’s $60+ million Realignment Plan, the city is charting a clear path to economic growth and vitality that will benefit residents, businesses and visitors. 

To help the community navigate potential impacts and understand the public benefits of this new two-day ticketed festival, this page will serve as a critical information hub for Santa Monica residents and local businesses to navigate any changes to traffic, parking, or beach-adjacent activities during the event load in, load out, and event days. 

Stay tuned for more details on a local resident presale and festival dates!
