Ocean Way Festival in Santa Monica Canceled Weeks Before Planned Debut

Goldenvoice has canceled the debut Ocean Way Festival in Santa Monica, which was scheduled for September 26-27. The decision follows significant damage caused by Hurricane Marie. According to the organizers, storm surf and runoff led to severe beach erosion, making it impossible to safely host the event as originally planned. This marks a sudden cancellation occurring only weeks before the festival's planned debut, citing safety concerns stemming from the environmental impact of the hurricane.
