Mark your calendars: from September 26–28, 2025, Dana Point’s Ohana Festival is back at Doheny State Beach — and this year’s looking stacked.
Curated by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, Ohana isn’t just about killer music; it’s a whole vibe rooted in community, nature, and good causes.
Since kicking off in 2016, Ohana has built a reputation for mixing big-name headliners with rising indie talent. While Eddie’s been a fixture from the start, Pearl Jam themselves didn’t hit the stage until 2021 — but the fest has always had their spirit running through it.
This year, Ohana picked up a serious accolade: it was named Music Festival of the Year by Pollstar in the under-30k attendee global category. Pretty big deal.
