Last year, the Ohana Festival was headlined by Eddie Vedder, Stevie Nicks and Pink. The artists perform across three stages and there is additional programming inside The Cove where the Storyteller’s Stage is located. The Cove is where concert fans can attend panel discussions by environmentalists, pro surfers, conservationists and researchers to learn about protecting and preserving the ocean and the beaches, as well as a variety of other charitable causes and volunteer efforts.
This space is also home to the ever-growing and evolving art gallery, which is curated by Charles R. Adler. Since 2016, a portion of the proceeds of the Ohana Festival have gone to benefit the Doheny Stage Beach Foundation and the San Onofre Parks Foundation and to charities like the Surfrider Foundation South OC Chapter, WSL Pure, Unidos South OC, Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust, the Rob Machado Foundation, Everytown Gun Control, Music Preserves, Sea Legacy and several others.
