The Ocean Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit education facility, and 100% of the weekend’s proceeds go directly back into our operations and mission. Using the ocean as our classroom, we inspire children to learn. Come celebrate with us and be a part of this treasured community tradition!

The festival will feature local vendors, food trucks, beer gardens, kids’ activities, sailor reenactors, local marine life, tall ships, and more! The Maritime Festival has been a beloved community event for the past 42 years, and we are thrilled to continue celebrating Dana Point’s rich maritime history.

Tickets coming soon!
