Rockaway Beach Music Festival

A free community event presented by NCAM Foundation. The same nonprofit who brought your Rockaway Writers Rendezvous. With every donation, you support local artists!
Spend a weekend at Rockaway Beach on the Oregon Coast this summer and experience LIVE MUSIC and support the arts and music while also enjoying...
*THE BEER GARDEN: which is located next to the main stage for people 21+, featuring local beer and 503 Distillery spirits.
*FOOD TRUCKS: Enjoy a variety of local food options throughout the festival grounds.
*VENDORS: Browse unique items from local artisans and businesses.
*INTERACTIVE ART: Engage with interactive art installations throughout the festival.
NCAM creates events to raise money and awareness for arts on the coast. We split the money we raise equally into two key areas:

1. Scholarships - We provide cash scholarships to high school seniors pursuing further education and training in the Arts. We define arts as any creative activity, from fine art to writing to music to culinary to coding - all of these are forms of art that elevate communities
2. Special Projects - We are raising money to build a recording studio at Neah-Kah-Nie High School, and we are offering recording grants to local musicians via our in-house recording studio. The purpose of building a modern recording studio at the school is to create a Music Technology program that not only benefits the students who want to be musicians, it opens up options for students who may not be musically inclined but are interested in the technical and production aspects of music.
   Proceeds from the VIP Tickets count as your donation towards NCAM and supporting budding artists!
   Additionally, if you would like to attend the event for free we will have a GA section where you can still participate in all the festivities. You will still need a "ticket" to enter and it will ensure us of appropriate staffing and items.
   We will also being entering in all donations made from 5/3/25-8/1/25 into a raffle for a signed poster from all of the performing artists. To make a donation separetly please visit our website www.ncamfoundation.org/donation
