Ocean Fest 2025

Ocean Fest is an ecological festival whose motto is to "Surf and Protect" with the mission of celebrating Mother Ocean while educating the community about ways they can be better stewards of our precious marine environment. Ocean Fest is like a beachfront carnival for a good cause. The festival includes live all-day music, a 5K beach race, a surfing contest on vintage boards, a kids zone, arts and crafts, beer gardens and food trucks, an Eco Education Zone and more. Activities will be held in more than one location throughout the heart of Surf City. All day time events with exception of the surfing competition and 5K run will be free. There will be ticketed concerts in the evening.
