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.

Friday Night Grief Club is a new gathering from The Death Network for people who are grieving and looking for community. This is not a support group, therapy session, or a place to be fixed. It's a space for honest conversation about grief, death, mystery, and the ways our relationships continue to evolve after someone dies. Grief changes us. It changes our relationships too. Many people continue to feel connected to those who have died. Some have vivid dreams. Some sense their loved one's presence. Some continue conversations in their hearts for years. Others are simply trying to make sense of what comes next. Come as you are. Share if you'd like. Listen if you'd rather. All ages, identities, backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences are welcome. Because grief may be universal, but no two grief journeys are the same. 5:30 - 6:00 mix & mingle 6:00 - 7:15 settle into small groups for deeper conversation 7:15 - 7:30 wrap up This gathering is for those who are grieving and looking for community. Not a support group. Not therapy. Not a place to be fixed. Water, tea and light snacks will be provided - we hope to see you there! RSVP Venmo @thedeathnetwork or Meet Up link
