Ocean Way Festival Canceled Over Impact From Hurricane Marie

Santa Monica’s upcoming inaugural Ocean Way festival has been canceled, show organizers confirmed on Friday, citing the impact Hurricane Marie had on the beach that was set to host the event.

“Storm surf and runoff has caused significant beach erosion and the festival can no longer be safely held as planned,” the festival said in a social media post Friday, just two weeks before the festival was supposed to kick off. “We were so excited to spend a weekend together on The Beach, but can share that plans are already underway to bring the festival to Santa Monica in 2027!
