Sun, ocean breezes, pulsating beats, and thousands of dance music fans gathered along the waterfront… That’s exactly what awaits at this year’s Day Trip Festival, one of Southern California’s most beloved electronic music events.
Returning to the Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach from June 27–28, the Insomniac-produced festival transforms the shoreline into a massive open-air dance floor packed with house, techno, disco, and electronic sounds from afternoon until late into the night.
Known for its laid-back beachside atmosphere, colorful festival fashion, and stunning ocean views, Day Trip has become a summer staple for dance music lovers.
