Mission Bayfest in San Diego, California, combines waterfront views, sandy shores and grassy lawns with three days of music in Mariner’s Point Park from Oct. 16-18. Returning for the fifth year, the festival features a lineup of reggae, pop and alternative artists reflecting SoCal’s laid-back culture.
