Ohana Festival will mark its 10th anniversary in 2026 with a three-day run Sept. 25-27 at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, Calif., bringing Eddie Vedder’s homegrown event back to the coast where it began. The lineup will be topped by Vedder & Friends, Maná, Tyler Childers and Pearl Jam.
The first day of Ohana Fest '26 is set to include Eddie Vedder & Friends, Maná, Billy Idol, Bad Religion, Courtney Barnett, Sugar, Midnight Generation, Otoboke Beaver, Florence Road, Mereba and Mutlee. The second day features Tyler Childers, Alabama Shakes, Jon Batiste, Men I Trust, Stephen Wilson, Jr., The Front Bottoms, Alice Phoebe Lou, Marlon Funaki, Jake Wesley Rogers, P.E.S.T. and Ellery Harper. The final day closes with Pearl Jam, Fontaines D.C., Pixies, Rilo Kiley, The Format, Tom Odell, Ecca Vandal, Horsegirl, Villanelle, Linka Moja and Speed of Light.
Vedder founded Ohana Festival in 2016, and the event has since become a fixture on the Southern California coast. It is a four-time Music Festival of the Year recipient from Pollstar in the Global, under 30,000 attendance category, with the publication most recently recognizing it in 2026. That status gives the 10th-anniversary edition a built-in benchmark: the festival is no longer simply a passion project, but an established draw with a track record.
What sets Ohana apart is that the music is only part of the bill. The festival includes The Cove, which centers on oceans, activism, conservation, Indigenous voices, art and community action, while the Storytellers Stage brings together environmentalists, researchers, activists, professional surfers and others for panels. The Cove Gallery displays hundreds of curated art pieces focused on music, street and board culture, and proceeds from the gallery support Ohana’s nonprofit partners through the Vitalogy Foundation.
That charitable reach extends beyond the gallery. A portion of proceeds from Ohana also goes through the Vitalogy Foundation to the Doheny State Beach Foundation and the San Onofre Parks Foundation, with participating charities including Unidos South OC, Inc., Life Rolls On Foundation, Surfer’s Healing Foundation Inc. and Surfrider. The festival has been described as a leader in sustainability and conservation, a framing that fits the mix of shoreline setting and civic programming built into the event.
One piece is still to come. Programming for the Storytellers Stage will be announced soon, leaving one of the festival’s most distinctive elements open even as the main lineup is set. For now, Ohana Festival 2026 answers the biggest question plainly: the anniversary edition is not a soft celebratory return. It is a full-scale, three-day gathering with Pearl Jam, Vedder and a broad roster that matches the festival’s ambitions.
