A Decade-Plus Celebration of Underground Music & Culture

Love Long Beach Festival has established itself as a flagship gathering on the West Coast festival calendar, marking its 11th annual edition in 2026. Rooted in a mission of connecting dancers, artists, families, and music lovers, the festival takes place July 18-19 at ShoreLine Aquatic Park—a waterfront venue that anchors the event's identity as a beachside cultural gathering. Led by artists and creatives at the forefront of the West Coast festival scene, Love Long Beach crafts immersive experiences built around curated underground sounds, community, and creativity.

Multiple Stages & Underground Sounds

The festival spans two dedicated music stages, each with distinct sonic identities. Performers across both stages bring house, techno, and bass music programming, with 25+ artists including established names like Lee Burridge, Radio Slave, DJ Minx, and Doc Martin alongside rising talent. The multi-stage format ensures continuous programming across the weekend, allowing attendees to discover new artists while catching their favorite acts. Rather than festival-pop bangers, the curation emphasizes underground quality and artistic merit.

Beyond the Music: Immersive Experiences

The Love Long Beach experience extends well beyond the main lineup. The festival features a Whole Earth Village offering yoga, sound healing, meditation, and immersive workshops. Kids' Corner programs create a family-inclusive festival space, while beachfront sound healing and live art installations round out the non-music offerings. Food vendors and local maker/merchandise villages complete the experience, creating opportunities for attendees to support local creators and vendors.

Waterfront Accessibility & Community Focus

Located at ShoreLine Aquatic Park in Long Beach's waterfront district, the festival maintains an all-ages, all-welcome policy. The venue positioning emphasizes the beachside setting without requiring overnight camping, making it accessible to day-trippers and locals. Parking guidance steers attendees toward nearby structures (The Pike Outlets Parking Garage) while promoting public transit and ride-sharing, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to urban festival logistics.
