Ocean Fest returns to downtown Surf City on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026!
After several years of changes, Ocean Fest is going back to its roots as a FREE, all-day, beachside celebration in the heart of downtown Surf City (Roland Ave/N. Shore Dr.). The event will highlight coastal culture through live music, a vintage surf contest, a 5K beach run, eco education, local vendors, food and drinks, and family-friendly experiences—all to benefit Mother Ocean.
Details including the live music lineup, 5K run and beach yoga registration, and vintage surf contest information can be found at theoceanfest.org.
