Started by San Diego’s own Grammy Award-winning band Switchfoot, Bro-Am is more than a festival—it’s a movement. A community celebration with purpose, Bro-Am raises funds and awareness for local nonprofits serving homeless, at-risk, and underserved youth. Through music, surfing, and good vibes, this homegrown event has turned into one of North County’s most iconic summer weekends.
Set against the backdrop of Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, Bro-Am’s Beach Fest is a free, all-ages event that attracts over 15,000 beach lovers each year. It’s equal parts epic concert, surf competition, and community block party.
Before the Beach Fest, there’s one exclusive night you won’t want to miss. More rock show than gala, the Benefit Party is an unforgettable evening of live music, amazing food, and giving back—all under the stars, surrounded by the very people making a difference in our community.
