Event Details
In 2005, after traveling the world, SWITCHFOOT dreamed up an idea to give back to their hometown that supported them as surfers and musicians, to rally their great community and to invest in kids who might need a hand up. Over a decade later, their idea has grown into two iconic San Diego events – BRO-AM’s Benefit Party and Beach Fest.
At the Beach Fest, join 17,000+ attendees for a free, all ages, family-friendly community giving movement event to enjoy a whole day of surf contests, live concerts on the beach with Grammy award-winning rock band Switchfoot, special guests, brand activations, vendor booths, green initiatives, and more.
