Environmental Stewardship and ‘The Cove’

A cornerstone of the Ohana Festival is its dedication to sustainability and environmental consciousness, a mission deeply ingrained since its inception in 2016. The festival grounds feature “The Cove,” a unique space that highlights the event’s core pillars: Oceans, Activism, Conservation, Indigenous Voices, Art, and Community Action. Within The Cove, the “Storytellers Stage” provides a platform for thought-provoking discussions, panels, and exhibits featuring renowned environmentalists, researchers, activists, and professional surfers. These sessions aim to raise awareness about critical environmental issues, ocean health, and the importance of conservation. Past speakers have included prominent figures like marine biologist Paul Nicklen and conservationist Cristina Mittermeier, co-founders of SeaLegacy.

Beyond Music: Community and Philanthropy

In line with its philanthropic ethos, a portion of the proceeds from the Ohana Festival benefits various environmental and social advocacy groups. These include the Doheny State Beach Foundation, the San Onofre Parks Foundation, the Surfrider Foundation, and organizations like Unidos South OC, Inc., Life Rolls On Foundation, and Surfer’s Healing Foundation Inc. The festival also showcases an art gallery within The Cove, featuring curated pieces centered on music, street culture, and board culture, with proceeds supporting Ohana’s nonprofit partners through the Vitalogy Foundation. Attendees can also anticipate diverse culinary offerings, with regional and local vendors providing vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. For sustainability, the festival emphasizes reusable cups, compostable foodware, and free water stations, aiming to minimize its environmental footprint.

A Legacy of Impact
