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.

In 2026, Mission Bayfest features headlining sets from Rebelution, Kolohe Kai, The Offspring, as well as Steel Pulse, The Movement, Common Kings, SOJA, The Interrupters, Goldfinger, The Expendables, Surfer Girl and Jakob’s Castle among many others.

Since its inception in 2022, Bayfest has cultivated a dedicated community of reggae enthusiasts. Founded by local Mission-aries Dominic Coleman, owner and operator at Single Fin Surf Grill and Sport Fishing; Joe Rinaldi, managing partner at Music Box; and DJ Mikey Beats, a partner at Sleeping Giant Music, Bayfest channels the spirit of San Diego’s legendary ‘90s festival scene into a modern experience for a new generation of fans

Beyond live music, Bayfest also offers a top-tier culinary experience, with gourmet food trucks and local eateries lining the park’s peninsula. Attendees can enjoy shopping from a curated marketplace of local artisans offering exclusive merchandise and handmade goods.
