BeachLife Fest 2023: 5 Things To Know Before You Go

REDONDO BEACH, CA — Festival goers will flood the shores of Redondo Beach starting Friday for the 2023 BeachLife Festival with this year's headlining acts The Black Keys, Gwen Stefani and The Black Crowes.

Throughout the weekend, the main focus will be on the more than 50 musical acts that will rock the four different stages. Here are five things you need to know about the festival in order to enjoy the day to the fullest:

There are no dedicated parking lots for the BeachLife festival, but there are a variety of ways to get to the grounds. The festival will offer bike concierges, rideshare options at Dive N Surf at 300 N. Broadway and city parking at the Redondo Pier.

This year festival runners adopted a new clear bag policy to prioritize safety and efficiency. All bags must be made of clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and cannot be larger than 12 inches long, 6 inches wide and 12 inches high, officials said. Clear, resealable, 1-gallon plastic storage bags, fanny packs or non-clear small clutch bags smaller than 6 inches long and 8 inches wide.

Food stalls and shops will not accept cash, so attendees should plan to bring their credit or debit cards. Festival runners said this choice is to make service quicker and safer and to lower risk of transmission. Mobile wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay are also accepted.

The weather all three days is expected to be pretty clear and sunny with temperatures in the low 60s. Festival runners advised attendees bring refillable water bottles and sunscreen.

There will be a variety of food and beverage options at the festival including a massive craft beer bar featuring local breweries, multiple bars, lounges, food vendors and food trucks across the venue with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options available.

On top of the readily-available options, the festival offers a chance to be served a four-course meal by celebrity chef while seated onstage with the DAOU SideStage Experience. Reservations start at $100 and go up to $275 for some artists, not including fees. To make a reservation visit the festival's site.
