Three former Oysterfest organizers have teamed up to create a San Diego legacy music festival at the scenic Waterfront Park. San Diego Bayfest focuses on a strong musical lineup while exemplifying the finest local food and libations. On Saturday, Jul. 10 from 12 to 10 p.m., San Diego Bayfest will be the first reggae-based music festival lineup to play in San Diego since the Pandemic began which includes: Dirty Heads, Sublime with Rome, Fortunate Youth, The Aggrolites, KBong and Denm. As is tradition, all the music takes place on one stage, so you don’t have to choose which artist you want to see with San Diego’s finest DJs playing in between sets. The goal of Bayfest is to break down what works in San Diego and stick with it. At the festival aside from high energy musical performances you will find local food vendors including Taco Stands, local bartenders pouring Craft Beer and Craft Cocktails as well as an assortment of local crafts and vending booths.
