The read

Our editorial read

Insomniac's waterfront house festival in Long Beach: a 21-plus, daytime-to-midnight weekend of house and techno beside the Queen Mary.

The full editorial

Day Trip Festival is Insomniac's Southern California house event, held on the waterfront beside the Queen Mary in Long Beach. It is a daytime festival that runs from 1 PM to midnight, two days, and the whole site is 21-plus, which gives it a different feel from the all-ages rave weekends. The booking is house and techno, with tech-house and melodic sets filling four stages named High Tide, Deep End, Amphitheater and Shoreline. The setting is the draw: ocean air, sunset sets over the water, and a compact footprint that makes stage-hopping easy. Because it is a dock-and-lot site rather than a park, there is no camping and no re-entry, and parking and rideshare logistics matter. The 2026 edition ran June 27 and 28 with a bill led by Gordo, Green Velvet, Adam Beyer, Cloonee and SIDEPIECE, among many others. At the time of writing no 2027 dates had been announced, so the next edition is uncertain. It is worth it if you want a polished, adult, house-focused weekend by the water without a long drive to the desert; it is not the place for bass, hard dance or a camping crowd.

Go if

  • House and techno fans who want a daytime, waterfront weekend
  • 21-plus groups who prefer a hotel over camping
  • Long Beach and LA people who want a city-adjacent festival

Inside the festival

A polished, adult house weekend on the Long Beach waterfront: daytime sun, sunset sets over the water, and a midnight finish.

21-plus; house and techno regulars, LA and Orange County groups, and a dressed-up, city crowd rather than a camping one.

Easy mistakes to avoid

Worth it for / the catch

Worth it for

  • A waterfront setting with sunset sets over the ocean.
  • A house-first bill across four stages, so you can stay in one lane all weekend.
  • 21-plus crowd and a daytime-to-midnight schedule that suits a hotel weekend.
  • A compact, walkable site that makes stage-hopping easy.

The catch

  • No bass, hard dance or camping, so it is narrow if you want variety.
  • No 2027 dates announced at the time of writing.
  • Waterfront parking and rideshare logistics are not well documented on the official pages.
  • A paved lot rather than grass or a park.
