San Diego, OHANA The island vibes are calling and we’re answering. Holo Holo Music Festival is bringing the energy, the culture, and the music you love to Waterfront Park on July 18, 2026. This is more than a festival. It’s a full-day escape filled with live island and reggae sounds, nonstop good energy, and that unmistakable Holo Holo feeling—when the music hits, the ocean breeze rolls in, and the whole crowd moves together. Holo Holo Music Festival San Diego – Waterfront Park July 18, 2026 Gates 12 p.m. // Music 1 p.m. Mahalo tickets are on sale now Best pricing won’t last. If you know, you know. Grab your crew and lock it in. We’ll see you by the water Holo Holo Music Festival was born from a love of island and reggae music—genres deeply rooted in connection, culture, and movement. The festival first set sail in 2022 at Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University, bringing together fans to celebrate the vibrant sounds of the islands. With the spirit of holo holo—meaning “to travel, to sail, to move”—the event quickly expanded to new shores, including Las Vegas and Sacramento. As the journey continued, Holo Holo became known for creating spaces where music, community, and culture come together naturally—by the water, under open skies, and surrounded by people who feel the music as much as they hear it. San Diego has become a meaningful stop on that journey, and 2026 brings the festival back to the waterfront for another unforgettable chapter. For Good Vibez Presents co-owner Dan Sheehan, Holo Holo is more than a festival—it’s personal. “Growing up in Ewa Beach, O‘ahu, island music and reggae were the soundtracks of my childhood. These styles—the heartbeat of the islands—are the backbone of my work as a festival producer and venue owner. A big part of Good Vibez Presents is about discovery, and I’m honored to showcase and celebrate these artists at Holo Holo Festivals.” For over 25 years, Good Vibez Presents has produced hundreds of immersive concerts and festivals across the West Coast, Hawaii, Arizona, North Carolina, and Mexico. They are the driving force behind the California Roots Music & Arts Festival in Monterey, the largest reggae-rock festival in the country. With a deep commitment to supporting nonprofits, small businesses, and creatives, Good Vibez Presents continues to build events that foster community, uplift artists, and spread positivity. Holo Holo Music Festival is more than just a gathering—it’s a journey. And in 2026, we can’t wait to holo holo with you.

The Photographer’s Eye Gallery will present “Field Notes,” a collection of works by Oriana Poindexter, a marine scientist and photographer who creates images from kelp and other sea specimens she draws from the ocean. “I started photographing underwater with a 35-millimeter film camera,” Poindexter said. “Initially I was excited about what I was getting, but what I was really missing was what had originally gotten me interested in photography, which was the tactile printmaking process and the way you could translate an image from nature into this physical object.” Poindexter has a B.A. from Princeton University in Visual Arts and an M.A.S. from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD in Marine Biodiversity & Conservation, so it was natural for her to blend these two disciplines. After experiencing frustration with her attempts with negative film, Poindexter turned to the cyanotype process. Poindexter creates her art by laying marine objects like kelp on light-sensitive paper and exposing them to the sun. This creates an impression of the object on the paper, like a shadow, resulting in a cyanotype. Cyanotypes typically have a blue hue but can display a different color depending on the chemical used to treat the paper. “Once I realized I could do direct contact printing with materials I pulled out of the water, I could use that and combine all the things I had found exciting, like going out and searching and collecting, and then making these hand based physical objects that were able to translate both the scale and the detail of the giant kelp,” she said. Some of Poindexter’s prints are 17 feet long, which are created on fabric, such as silk or canvas. The longest image for The Photographer’s Eye exhibit is 80 inches. Poindexter, who lives in San Diego, has been camping and diving at Catalina Island for fifteen years, and much of her work springs from those waters. Also represented in “Field Notes” are works created during a summer immersed in Oregon’s coastal ecosystems. Poindexter’s photography has been featured in The Smithsonian magazine, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and has been shown at Laguna Art Museum, Oceanside Museum of Art, and Center for Fine Art Photography. Poindexter will present an artist talk at the gallery on July 11, at 4 p.m., which will be followed immediately by a reception. She will conduct a workshop on making cyanotypes on July 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For information and to sign up, contact the gallery at 760-522-2170.
