Yeehaw, cowboys and cowgirls, it’s time to dust off the boots.
Coastal Country Jam is saddling up and returning to Marina Green Park in Long Beach on Sept. 21-22. The two-day beachside festival promises to corral some of the biggest names in country music, offering a weekend packed with live performances, line dancing, mouthwatering barbecue, and plenty of Southern California sunshine by the sea.
As the West Coast’s largest beachside country festival, Coastal Country Jam has become a beloved tradition for country music fans since its debut at Huntington State Beach in 2016. Orange County-based Activated Events, the team behind this crowd favorite, is bringing bigger talent to the stage for another year.
