About Us

Now celebrating its 16th edition in 21 years, the Aloha Beach Festival brings the spirit of Aloha to Ventura's beautiful coastline every two years. What started as a small community gathering has grown into one of the most anticipated biennial events on the Southern California coast.

Held at Surfer's Point and Promenade Park, right along Shoreline Drive, the festival celebrates the connection between surf culture, Hawaiian traditions, and Ventura's cozy coastal community. Each year, thousands of visitors come together to enjoy live entertainment, incredible food, unique vendors, and the kind of good vibes you can only find where the waves meet the sand.

The Aloha Beach Festival is more than just a great time — it's a chance to give back. The festival proudly supports Ventura's social and environmental non-profits, with this year's focus on Flow Surf Academy. Your support will help Flow Surf Academy create life-changing ocean experiences for participants and families experiencing tremendous obstacles in everyday life. The festival believes deeply in the power of community, kindness, and sharing the Aloha spirit with everyone who joins us.

Whether you're a longtime local or visiting for the first time, we invite you to experience the warmth, energy, and Aloha that make this festival truly special.
