One of the largest surf music festivals in the world takes place in Long Beach at the Golden Sails Hotel July 26-28:
The 15th Annual Surf Guitar 101 Festival Weekender.
Featuring dozens of surf bands, vendors and sponsors, the 3-day event includes seldom-seen super groups like The Ghastly Ones, the Mermen, the Surfaris, the Boss Martians and the Untamed Youth.
With two stages and affordable hotel rooms, this immersive event has free parking and fine food from Roxanne's Restaurant.
Reserve a seat for a day or for the entire weekend, but do it soon. Last year's show sold out.
Presented by Big Tiki Dude, Stellar Shows and MuSick Recordings.
