The Cali Vibes Festival 2025 brought the heart of California’s coastal music culture to life once again in Long Beach, delivering a vibrant, sun-drenched weekend of reggae, hip-hop, and feel-good energy. With a diverse lineup featuring headliners like Kid Cudi, Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid, Dirty Heads, and Stick Figure, the festival seamlessly blended genre staples with cross-genre appeal, attracting fans of all ages to Marina Green Park. The venue’s oceanfront setting created a breezy, relaxed atmosphere, and its smart layout ensured smooth crowd flow, great sound quality, and plenty of space to chill or dance.

From the sustainably designed infrastructure – including composting stations, refillable water points, and reusable drinkware – to the curated art installations and wellness zones, Cali Vibes showed a strong commitment to community and the environment. Food and drink options were abundant, with local vendors offering everything from street tacos to vegan poke bowls and craft cocktails, while the on-site marketplace leaned into ethical, handmade goods and festival fashion. Though prices for food and beverages were on the steep side, the overall experience – from flawless stage transitions to a friendly, peace-driven crowd – felt both intentional and community-driven!
