SoCal’s BeachLife Nights Announces Culinary Lineup

Redondo Beach will be home to BeachLife Nights, an intimate music & food experience featuring Chef Curtis Stone, from October 18-19th. The culinary lineup features renowned and Michelin-starred chefs as well as delicious options from popular LA food trucks. 

“BeachLife Nights is a twist on the classic BeachLife Festival,” says Sam Meyers, BeachLife Nights Manager. “Naturally, we had to have great music, but we wanted to put a larger focus on amazing food with celebrity chefs. It’s a more intimate, exclusive experience than the typical BeachLife with the same great vibes. Honestly? We just couldn’t wait until 2025. Our fans, partners, and community all deserve another BeachLife weekend in the sand!”

BeachLife Nights will feature a VIP BBQ Experience with Michelin-starred Chef Curtis Stone in the VIP Lounge. This experience will include a special “performance” on the Jack Daniel’s culinary stage. The menu is inspired by the recently opened BeachLife Grotto and the soon-to-open California Surf Club. Chef Curtis Stone’s tasting menu includes barbecue pulled pork sliders, fried chicken, smoked brisket beef chili, mac n’ cheese, grilled street corn, mini wagyu hot dogs & vegan dogs and his signature chicken sausage rolls or vegetable rolls.

As for music, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Soja, The English Beat and The Rookie5 will perform on Friday, October 18th.

A surprise acoustic performance will take place each day by one of the scheduled artists in the Kona Big Wave Aloha Lounge as part of the Kona Big Wave Bonfire Sessions program. 

Tickets are available in both general admission and VIP options. GA ticket holders can enjoy the musical performances on the main stage, as well as purchase curated food options from LA food trucks, bars, concessions and merch. Brand activations and artisanal goods from local vendors will be available for purchase throughout the festival grounds.
