Here's some media feedback on OHANA 2017:
"...a unique concert with a salty-air twist...Ohana, which translates to "family" in Hawaiian, is more than just about music. The event serves as a fundraiser for ocean-minded nonprofits, including the Wyland Foundation, the Ocean Institute, the San Onofre Parks Foundation and Doheny State Beach Interpretive Association."

"It's location at the idyllic Doheny State Beach makes it easy to go for a surf in the morning, and take in tunes in the afternoon."
--OC WEEKLY, 9-11-2017
"Ohana Fest, the three-day music festival organized by Eddie Vedder and his pro surfing buddy Kelly Slater, returned to Dana Point, California's Doheny State Beach for its second year yesterday. Last year, Vedder was everywhere at the fest, performing with Elvis Costello, X, Jack Irons, Band Of Horses, and more, and it seems like he's making it his mission to play with everyone at this year's fest too."

"This past weekend, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder headlined the Ohana Fest in Dana Point, California's Doheny State Beach. It was the second year of the festival, which Vedder and pro surfer Kelly Slater organized, and it looks like it was a good time."
--STEREOGUM, 9-12-2017
"Eddie Vedder has played a big role in the emergence of the Ohana Festival on the music scene, so it's fitting that he was popping up all over the place this weekend."
--LOUDWIRE, 9-10-2017
"Set up on a stretch of pristine California beach and state park grounds, with an eclectic line-up of friends, admired artists, and buzz-making newcomers all curated by Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder, the three-day event was an even more expanded version from its previous year's debut. The laid back vibe of what is turning out to be the summer's best music festival, included an abundance of various food trucks, drink options and family friendly activities including an on-site video arcade, various interactive games, food tastings and a row of hammocks that if you were lucky enough to score you could swing on and soak up the sun and sweet ocean air."
--CIVILIZED, 9-13-2017
"The Ohana Festival, curated by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, was another massive success in its second year of existence. Thousands of music fans flocked to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California for the three-day festival which featured the likes of The Pixies, Eddie Vedder, Social Distortion, Haim, and Jack Johnson. The festival produced some impressive collaborations between Vedder and many of the other headlining bands, with Apple joining Vedder during his headlining set on the second day of the festival to perform the Neil Young classic "Rockin' in the Free World."
