Welcome to GA+

We’re so glad to host you at Huntington Beach City Beach for an incredible lineup of music and fun! Your GA+ perks will help you make the most of your day with private bars, air-conditioned restrooms, and more!

We’ve compiled this guide to help you take full advantage of everything GA+ has to offer. We’ve also included essential info on our health and safety policies and general festival details. Be sure to share this with everyone in your group so all are in-the-know. And if there is anything we left off, email info@darkerwavesfest.com with questions. We can’t wait to see you there!

How to Dress & What to Bring

Dress for comfort and be sure to check the weather forecast before you head out the door. The festival grounds are a combination of paved surfaces, temporary flooring, and sand, so choose your footwear accordingly. We recommend a hat, sunglasses, and a jacket for the chilly evenings, but if you forget anything, the Festival Store has lots of great merchandise offerings!
