About BeachLife Festival
BeachLife Festival debuted in 2019 and is Southern California’s premier multi-day live music, art, and culinary experience, held on the beach in the South Bay of Los Angeles County. Co-founded by Allen Sanford and Rob Lissner, along with Jim Lindberg (Pennywise / solo artist / author) as Brand Director and SpeakEasy Stage curator, BeachLife celebrates the power and beauty of the ocean and coastal resources.
“BeachLife Nights is a twist on the classic BeachLife Festival. Naturally, we had to have great music, but we wanted to put a larger focus on amazing food with celebrity chefs. It’s a more intimate, exclusive experience than the typical BeachLife with the same great vibes. Honestly? We just couldn’t wait until 2025. Our fans, partners, and community all deserve another BeachLife weekend in the sand!” shares Sam Meyers, BeachLife Nights Manager.
The festival features music acts on four stages, high-end dining with well-known celebrity chefs, a silent auction benefiting BeachLife’s primary charities, and components celebrating surf and skateboarding culture.
