The Ohana Fest brings good music, strong performances and special moments to Orange County.

Set in a beautiful backdrop, just steps away from the sands of Orange County’s stunning Doheny State Beach, the Ohana Festival came back for its third year in a row to Dana Point — and was a true celebration.

The event, which brought in more than 25,000 fans over the three-day music festival, felt like the true end to summer, as the sun was shining, the weather was beautiful, and the event brought in some of the top singers, songwriters and musicians under one sky.

The event, organized by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, brought in such talents as Eric Church, Norah Jones, Eddie Vedder, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Mumford & Sons, Beck, and Young The Giant, among others, over the weekend, which benefitted the Doheny State Beach Interpretive Association and the San Onofre Foundation, a California non-profit that cooperatively works with the California State Parks to “develop, preserve and enhance the recreation and experience of California’s unique and beautiful coastal parks. (You can learn more about the organization on their website which is available HERE.)

(…) But the energy over the three-day music extravaganza was a standout. With country superstar Eric Church closing out day one with an impressive all-acoustic set, to Eddie Vedder’s iconic collaborative music showcase Saturday night with Johnny Marr and Liz Phair, to Switchfoot having a moment of grace and calling all to show love and light as the San Diego natives felt at home in Orange County’s beautiful beach town, the Ohana Fest really felt like a true family.
