Day Trip LA is BACK 🚢✨
If you’re already thinking about summer plans, just know Day Trip Festival is about to take over once again, and this year is going to be the biggest one yet. Celebrating its 6th edition, Day Trip continues to level up every single year, bringing together an unmatched mix of house music, ocean views, and nonstop energy. Returning to the iconic Queen Mary Waterfront, this is the kind of weekend that people plan their entire summer around. If last year taught me anything, it’s that this is not a festival you want to miss.

Returning to the iconic Queen Mary Waterfront, Day Trip 2026 is bringing back everything we love and leveling it up even more. The lineup hasn’t dropped yet, but if you’ve been before, you already know it’s going to be stacked with some of the best names in house and techno.
What really makes Day Trip different isn’t just the artists, it’s the energy. From the second you arrive, it feels like you’ve stepped into a nonstop summer party where everyone is there for the same reason: good music, good vibes, and making memories with strangers who instantly feel like friends.
The Deep End is where you go to lock into those groovy, minimal house vibes. It’s such a fun, intimate space with room to dance and a crowd that has good vibes the whole night. You can easily spend hours here without even realizing it.

Then there’s the High Tide stage, which is hands down one of the most beautiful festival stages I’ve ever seen. Sitting right next to the Queen Mary, it creates the most unreal backdrop, especially at sunset. The visuals, the energy, and the massive crowd all moving together make it feel like pure magic. Last year, we saw Gorgon City at this stage, and it was easily the highlight of the weekend. There’s a massive disco ball hanging over the stage, and watching the light reflect onto the Queen Mary is such a surreal and beautiful moment you won’t forget.
And this year, they’re adding a brand new third stage, the Long Beach Amphitheater, which is expected to bring a whole new level to the experience and give even more space for unforgettable sets all weekend long.

Between the music, the ocean views, and the after parties on the Queen Mary, which are easily one of the most unique parts of the entire weekend, Day Trip is more than just a festival. It’s a full-on summer escape.
Trust me, whether it’s your first time or your fifth, this is the place you want to be!!
See you in Long Beach 🌊🕺🏻🪩
