Festival founder/curator, Josh Fischel, himself a seasoned touring musician, and lifelong Long Beach resident says, "Our city is a vibrant, evolving place that�s ripe with community, commerce and culture. Within our city limits, we hold the second largest port in the United States, and proudly claim a dynamic food, music and arts scene. We are leaders in the crusade for equality and environmental rights, residing on the cusp of where Los Angeles and
Orange County connect. This is now. Being the world class city we are, we have been long overdue a festival that mirrors the passion and diversity that we experience from our neighbors everyday. It�s time to show off Long Beach and draw the rest of the world in. It�s time for others to experience what us locals have always known. It�s time to allow our residents, once a year, the chance to see Downtown in a different light. MUSIC. TASTES. GOOD."
