Ohana Festival 2026

Such a great run festival… always feels like the end of summer , just a beautiful way to close it out… I should’ve  went last year but made obligations to see NIN with someone week prior, couldn’t stay… I think I’ll be able to come and partake this year

$57/day....lol

No thanks. I know where the free spots are hiding

Do you care to share?

Does anyone else know where the Free Parking spots are hiding? (Willing to walk a mile or so)

Also curious about this. Working out my parking plan now. I've heard parking at Dana Point Harbor is a good move.

The neighborhoods near the venue are likely what people are referring to. It's not worth it in my opinion. Easy walk down...bataan death march back up as they are in the hills

I've parked roughly here in the past. No hills, but it's about a mile and a half: https://maps.app.goo.gl/VTHfcQbM93Jqkz958?g_st=ac

Park in the surrounding neighborhoods. Be respectful to the people who live in the community. Walking after the show is the best way to work off whatever you consumed at the show. the DP area is really beautiful - it's worth exploring on foot!

BTW thank you @Sea for supporting the community with all that you and everyone behind the scenes do to help make this happen.

Thanks for the info. Me and my old bones/muscles struggle with some hills-LOL

I'll keep that in mind.

Thank You!

If you arrive early enough, there is parking all along Stonehill drive, which is much closer: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WUbrjyiyQiU2hMZN9?g_st=ac

We arrived after 5, so had to park further away.

I plan on getting there pretty early on Friday. I'd like to see 5 Bands before Eddie & Friends. Not sure If that would be early enough? Sunday I will not get there too early.

Either way, I really appreciate the info. Thank You!

Maná opened World Cup today in Mexico City.... if you don't know why they were invited to Ohana just watch their performance.... we're lucky to have them in a small venue.

I saw them at BottleRock before the PJ set in 2024 and they were great. Totally makes sense why they opened the World Cup.

I was also at Bottlerock.  Someone more familiar with them than I am said they were the equivalent of U2 in their culture.

That sounds accurate from what I know from their fans.

Not sure if they sold Sunday out, but I just put 4 tickets back on the tm site for GA Sunday as I’ll be out of the country now that week.
