Building on the foundation of public safety and infrastructure investments in the city’s Realignment Plan, summer 2026 will bring an unprecedented level of arts, entertainment, and cultural events to Santa Monica! 

From the inaugural Santa Monica International Jazz Festival on May 1, 2026, to more than a month of celebrations for FIFA World Cup 2026, to a new festival right on the beach by Coachella producers Goldenvoice, this summer in Santa Monica is one you won't want to miss. And this is just the beginning of a series of major events running all the way through the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2028.
