Whether you missed it or soaked it all in, Cali Vibes Festival returned to Marina Green Park in Long Beach last weekend, delivering laid-back rhythms, sun-kissed moments, and unforgettable performances. Our favorite surfside celebration brought together reggae, hip‑hop, and good vibes from Kid Cudi, Cypress Hill, Slightly Stoopid, and more. It is proof that Cali Vibes is where sunshine meets sound. My sunhat and comfy sneakers came in handy because I was dancing all day long
Cali Vibes Highlights That Stole the Show
Beach Club & VIP: Elevated amenities like shaded lounges and AC restrooms kept festival-goers chill all weekend long
Kickoff: Gates opened at 12 PM. Plenty of time to claim your spot, grab bites, and enjoy lakeside views.
Soundcheck: From Ludacris bringing the energy to Stick Figure delivering reggae chills, the lineup hit all the right notes.
What You’ll Want to Know for Next Year
Tickets sold out in tiers: GA, VIP, and Beach Club priced between $195 and $885. Next year, expect similar options plus early-bird presales through email signups.
Getting there is easy: the Metro A Line drops you right near the entrance, and bike parking plus ADA spots are available . Note: general on-site parking is limited outside VIP.
Pro tip: Come early and explore Long Beach. A stroll through Shoreline Village, brunch on the boardwalk, or a ride on the Queen Mary sets the perfect festival mood before the music starts.
Why This Festival Works, Based on Recap:
- Easygoing festival atmosphere keeps the vibes mellow even when the stage pops 🔥
- All‑ages welcome, with Beach Club restricted to 21+ and under‑5 free (I would recommend bringing earplugs just in case.)
- Waterfront setting gives Cali Vibes its signature coastal energy
