Day Trip Festival 2026 will return to Long Beach’s Queen Mary Waterfront on June 27 and 28, offering house music fans two vibrant days of dancing, top DJs, and scenic harbor views.

This popular electronic music festival promises multiple stages, immersive production, and an atmosphere that blends energetic crowds with the laid-back, coastal vibe Long Beach is known for.

Attendees can expect performances from celebrated artists in house music, plus food vendors and art installations all surrounded by oceanfront scenery.

The event draws thousands, boosting local businesses and spotlighting the Queen Mary Waterfront as a hub for major gatherings.

For residents and visitors, Day Trip Festival offers a signature Long Beach experience—where music, culture, and waterfront views meet in an unforgettable weekend celebration.

The Women of Excellence and Small Business Grant Dinner in Long Beach brought together local women leaders for a candid evening of connection and inspiration.

Hosted by the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce Women's Business Council, attendees shared real stories about leadership, mentorship, burnout, and balancing family life with entrepreneurship.

Amanda Parson DeRosier, founder of The Bar fitness studio, received this year’s City of Hope grant, underscoring how small businesses can also build community and emotional support.

Throughout the night, panelists from diverse industries credited mentors, family, and local organizations like Soroptimist and Rotary for their success.

Authenticity, vulnerability, and community connections resonated most—with many emphasizing that growth is a team effort.

This relationship-driven approach continues to shape Long Beach’s business future, making now a perfect time for anyone seeking meaningful local connections to get involved.

Loving Day is observed every June 12, honoring the 1967 Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia that ended interracial marriage bans across the U.S.

The landmark case centered on Richard and Mildred Loving, a Virginia couple arrested for marrying across racial lines.

Their struggle and ultimate legal victory sparked transformative change for families nationwide.

While not a federal holiday, Loving Day has grown through grassroots efforts, community conversations, and films that continue to introduce new generations to the story’s significance.

In diverse communities like Long Beach, the day now symbolizes more than history—it is a celebration of acceptance, unity, and the courage of ordinary people.

Nearly six decades later, Loving Day reminds residents that hard-won rights require ongoing awareness and community engagement to maintain.
